The King County Road Services Division will close a two-mile stretch of Carnation Farm Road to through traffic between 284th Avenue Northeast and the Carnation Farm from 6AM, Monday, April 12th through approximately 7PM, Friday April 16th.

During the closure, crews will work to repair a 350-foot section of road shoulder near 284th Avenue Northeast that's been sinking and cracking due to ground movement. The section of road, located in a chronic slide area, has been showing signs of pavement damage in recent months due to heavy fall and winter rains. During the closure, crews will remove unstable soil beneath the road and add material designed to strengthen the roadbed, which should help prevent future damage from occurring. The repairs are being done now in preparation for resurfacing this summer. The work is being scheduled for next week to coincide with Riverview School District's spring break.

During the closure, motorists should use alternate routes. Crews will work as quickly as possible in an effort to minimize traffic disruptions.
