Plan for delays on State Route 167 during the weekend of July 11 as contractor crews with the Washington State Department of Transportation work to move the northbound Puyallup River Bridge 60 feet to the east.

Relocating the 379-ton bridge will require contractor crews to close SR 167 across the Puyallup River for most of the weekend.

Weekend bridge closure details

• At 9 p.m. Friday, July 11, all lanes of northbound and southbound SR 167 will close at the Puyallup River in Puyallup.
• The closure will remain in effect through 2 p.m. Sunday, July 13.
• Drivers will follow signed detour routes via SR 512.

Drivers who need to travel through Puyallup during the weekend of July 11 should create a commuting strategy:

• Allow extra time to travel along the detour.
• Travel early in the morning or later in the evening.
• Reschedule discretionary trips.
• Ride transit, carpool, or use other alternate forms of transportation.
