Permanent State Route 167 (SR 167) bridge repairs are set to begin next week, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced Thursday.

Work on the bridge, which was significantly damaged by an over-height truck in September, will begin on November 19 with an overnight closure of all northbound lanes.

Crews have to close the lanes to set up the work zone, according to WSDOT. When traffic reopens the next morning, there will only be one lane.

SR 167 will then be reduced to one lane for the remainder of construction. WSDOT noted the left and center lanes must be closed to allow safe access for crews to make repairs and stage equipment.
