August 6, 2007

Black Diamond- Ravensdale Road – The Black Diamond-Ravensdale Road will be closed south of 268th Avenue Southeast until 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 13 so county road crews can trim trees and crews from BNSF Railway can repair the railroad crossing. Motorists can detour via Kent-Kangley.

Thomas Road Southeast – Thomas Road Southeast, south of Covington, will be closed in the 30200 block until 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8 while county crews replace a small culvert and repair a sinkhole. Motorists can detour via Kent-Black Diamond Road, Kent-Kangley Road, and Covington-Sawyer Road.

Baring Bridge – King County will be making repairs to the Baring Bridge over the South Fork of the Skykomish River through Aug. 11. During the project, Northeast Index Creek Road will be closed from 639th Avenue Northeast to 641st Avenue Northeast between the hours of 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Traffic will be allowed to pass through at the top of each hour, but motorists should expect long delays.

276th Avenue Southeast – In Hobart, 276th Avenue Southeast will be closed for major repairs through Wednesday, Aug. 22 between Southeast 197th Street and Southeast 200th Street. Motorists can detour via Southeast 216th Street, 244th Avenue Southeast and SR 18.
