The Tolt Bridge on Tolt Hill Road, west of Carnation, will be closed from
Tuesday, July 22 at 7 a.m. to Saturday, July 26 at 5 p.m.
During that time, the King County
Department of Transportation
Road Services Division will be repairing the bridge deck. The posted detour
will be via State Route 202 to Fall City and then to Carnation on State Route
203; but several other local routes are also available.
Although the county plans to replace and realign the 81-year-old Tolt Bridge
in 2004, the existing bridge must be maintained until that project is complete.
The project beginning July 22 involves replacing sections of the bridge deck
that have deteriorated with new corrugated steel panels. The bridge deck will
then be repaved with asphalt.
More information about the replacement project are available
online; or by
calling Marnie McGrath, DOT community relations, at 206-684-1154 (206-684-1682
TTY).
