A forecast of rainy weather has caused the postponement of repaving southbound State Route 167 in Kent for the second consecutive weekend.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) had hoped to do the work between State Route 516 and South 277th Street on Aug. 23-26 after rain postponed the project Aug. 16-19.
“Unfortunately, we are having to reschedule the planned work again due to the weather forecast,” said WSDOT spokesperson Craig Smiley in an Aug. 21 email. “We do not have a new date as of yet.”
The project includes repaving the road and bridge work.
Schedule updates will be available on the project webpage, WSDOT’s Travel Center map, the WSDOT mobile app and by signing up for King County email updates.
