Work on South 277th Street is being done in three phases by King County and
the cities of Auburn and Kent. King County’s portion is the final stage, and
includes the stretch of roadway from West Valley Highway to 72nd Avenue South.
The county project includes roadway widening and raising it to prevent serious
flooding. Plans also call for intersection improvements, widening and seismic
retrofit of the State Route 167 bridge, new sidewalks, bike lanes, and signal
synchronization.
The county’s project has an estimated $15 million budget, and construction
is to begin in January 2003 and last until October 2004.
Those interested in the project are invited to drop in during the 90-minute
open house to pick up information and talk to project staff. You may also call
