News from King County Transportation Release date: July 1, 2004 Bridge on Kelly Road closes July 6 for two months The King County Road Services Division will close the Kelly Road/Cherry Creek Bridge for repairs from Tuesday, July 6 until Friday, Aug. 27. The bridge is located on Kelly Road Northeast as it crosses Cherry Creek, approximately 4.6 miles east of Duvall. During the two-month repair, motorists should detour via Big Rock Road, State Route 203, and Cherry Valley Road. The bridge is a timber structure originally built in 1947 and rebuilt in
1966. It is vulnerable to earthquake damage and does not meet the requirements
for carrying today's larger trucks. The county will replace the bridge's
timbers, replace the bridge deck, install guardrails that meet current safety
standards, and seismically retrofit the bridge supports. When the
project
is completed, the repaired bridge will no longer be weight restricted. |
