Southbound State Route 167 in Kent will be fully closed from 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16 to 4 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19 for repaving the road and bridge work.<\/p>\n
During the closure, southbound SR 167 will be closed from SR 516 to South 277th Street, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The southbound SR 516 on-ramp and the South 277th Street off-ramp will be closed.<\/p>\n
A signed detour route will guide people around the closure. Travelers should expect heavier traffic volumes along the detour route.<\/p>\n
Detour routes, such as West Valley Highway, cannot accommodate normal SR 167 traffic volume, so travelers are advised to plan ahead, travel during off-peak hours or, if possible, delay discretionary travel to help minimize backups, according to WSDOT.<\/p>\n
Work is weather sensitive and may be rescheduled. Schedule updates will be available on the project <\/a>webpage<\/a>, WSDOT’s Travel Center map, the WSDOT mobile app and by signing up for King County email updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16 to 4 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19 between SR 516 and South 277th Street <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":212,"featured_media":70379,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,4],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-70378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70378"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/212"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70378"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kentreporter.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=70378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
