Traffic revisions on state Route 169 in Maple Valley set for Tuesday


September 24, 2012 · Updated 12:53 PM 

Southbound Witte Road, at state Route 169, will be closed Monday, September 24 until 2 p.m., for construction work. There will also be a traffic revision on state Route 169 Tuesday, Sept. 25 and/or Wednesday Sept. 26 between Southeast 264th Street and Southeast 258th Street.
All entrances, driveways, and the remainder of Witte Road will be open.

The roadway will be reduced to two lanes - one lane in each direction, and shifted to the east side and then to the west side.

Also, for short periods of time between the hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., state Route 169 will be “flagged”/reduced down to one lane only. Traffic flow will be alternated between northbound and southbound.

This is required for utility construction work to cross the highway for the state Route 169 Maple Valley Roadway Improvements Project.

Consider using alternate routes, such as Witte Road.

For more information, visit the SR 169 Maple Valley Roadway Improvements Project webpage.
