WSDOT To Begin Repaving SR 164 In Enumclaw

ENUMCLAW, WA - State construction crews will soon begin repaving a stretch of SR 164 connecting Auburn and Enumclaw.

Here are the Washington State Department of Transportation's upcoming repaving plans:

Contractor crews will begin work on SR 164 from Southeast 408th Street to 196th Avenue Southeast on March 13.

• Crews will replace 38 of the nearly 70-year-old concrete panels and grind the 2-mile-long section to smooth out bumps.
• They will also repave a short section with new asphalt near the SR 164 intersection with 196th Avenue Southeast.
• Work will take place during daytime and nighttime hours. Drivers should be prepared for lane closures and delays while crews are working.
• The $2.6 million project will be complete by the end of spring.

Paving on the second section of SR 164, from SR 18 to 17th Street Southeast in Auburn, begins later in the summer.

• Crews will grind and repave the roadway to remove cracks, potholes and wheel ruts.
• About 34,000 vehicles use this section of SR 164 each day.
• Work will take place during daytime and nighttime hours. Drivers should be prepared for lane closures and delays during the work.
• The $2.3 million project will also improve 22 sidewalk ramps, making it easier for pedestrians to cross the street.

WSDOT also plans to repave portsion of SR 410. Find out more from the state here.
