State Route 169 in Maple Valley will remain closed to all traffic until the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 20, after crews working on a project to reduce flooding discovered remnants of what appeared to be a bridge structure at the project site.
Construction resumed the morning of Sunday, Oct. 17, following Washington Department of Transportation inspection of the site, and crews are working as quickly as possible to complete the project and reopen the highway.
Both directions of State Route 169 will remain fully closed between 196th Avenue Southeast and Cedar Grove Road Southeast. The adjacent Cedar River Trail will also remain closed while work is underway.
