Road projects near Carnation and Duvall
could disrupt traffic

The King County Road Services Division will be working on projects in the Lower Snoqualmie Valley that could disrupt traffic in the coming weeks.

The Tolt Bridge on Northeast Tolt Hill Road over the Snoqualmie River near Carnation will be closed for bridge deck repairs from 7 a.m. Monday, Aug. 1 through Thursday, Aug. 18. Motorists can detour via State Route 203 and State Route 202.

North of the bridge, crews will be working on a project to widen the intersection of Novelty Hill Road and West Snoqualmie Valley Road southwest of Duvall from Monday, Aug. 1 through Friday, Sept. 16. The roadway will remain open during construction, but there will be intermittent lane closures on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

 

There are also plans to repave a section of the Woodinville-Duvall Road between 204th Avenue Northeast and West Snoqualmie River Road Northeast in August. Because of the high volume of daytime traffic on that road, the resurfacing will be done at night between 8:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. to avoid traffic delays. The project will take about seven nights and is weather dependent. The goal is to have it completed by the end of August.

 

The King County Road Services Division keeps motorists moving by improving traffic flow and safety on local roadways. The division manages one of the largest public road systems in the state, with more than 2 billion vehicle miles traveled annually on county roads. The agency designs, builds and maintains roads, bridges, walkways and intelligent traffic management systems in unincorporated areas of King County. It is responsible for nearly 2,000 miles of roadway and 220 bridges in a 2,134-square mile area. The division also provides contracted construction and maintenance services to 35 local cities and special districts, plus two adjoining counties. KCRSD crews respond 24 hours a day in all kinds of weather to keep roads safe and passable.
