Northbound SR 167 has reopened on Friday, Dec. 19 between 15th Street NW (milepost 16) in Auburn and South 212th Street (milepost 22) in Kent following an extended closure due to floodwater from the Green River.
On-ramps to northbound SR 167 also have reopened along this 6-mile corridor.
Southbound SR 167 travel lanes and on-ramps reopened in this area Wednesday morning, Dec. 17.
WSDOT worked closely with local partners in recent days to pump floodwater off the right of way along northbound SR 167.
As floodwater receded on Friday, Dec. 19, crews removed more than 400 oversized sandbags and inspected travel lanes for damage before reopening the highway.
Real-time travel information is available via the WSDOT mobile app, the WSDOT travel map or by signing up for WSDOT’s email updates.
