Rainy forecast postpones State Route 167 repaving project

Project not yet rescheduled.

A forecast of rainy weather postponed repaving southbound State Route 167 in Kent for the second consecutive weekend on Aug. 23-26.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) had hoped to do the work between State Route 516 and South 277th Street 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.

As of Tuesday, Aug. 27, no new date for the project had been posted by WSDOT.

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.
