King County, Washington sent this bulletin at 05/08/2018 04:11 PM PDT

Starting Thursday, May 17, drainage repair work will take place on SW 178th Street between Vashon Highway SW and 99th Place SW. The work requires a daily, full closure from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Friday, May 25. A detour will be posted. This work is necessary for the upcoming repaving project on Vashon Highway SW which is anticipated to begin in late May or early June, depending upon weather and the contractor’s schedule.

Vashon Highway SW was last comprehensively overlaid about 25 years ago. With the exception of two portions of the roadway that were paved less than a decade ago, nearly all of the 12-mile long roadway will receive a new pavement surface – from the Tahlequah Ferry Terminal in the south, through the island’s main business area, all the way to the northern ferry terminal that serves the King County Water Taxi, Fauntleroy and Southworth ferry traffic.
