Starting October 7, 2024, King County Road Services will close Enumclaw-Franklin Road SE between 275th Way SE and 287th Ave SE for three weeks. This closure will allow King County to replace a cracked and failing pipe under the road before heavy winter rains begin.
What to expect:
- The road will be closed to all vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians 24/7 starting as soon as October 7 at 8 a.m. The road is anticipated to reopen 3 weeks later.
- Access to businesses and homes on the road will be maintained using the Veazie-Cumberland Rd NE detour.
- Construction may continue on weekends, depending on crew and equipment
availability.
WSDOT has announced multiple closures on I-5, I-405, SR 520, and SR 167 this weekend. The following closures are most likely to impact residents of District 9:
Northbound I-405 in Renton will be closed from Sunset Boulevard Northeast/Southport Drive (Exit 5) to Coal Creek Parkway Southeast from 11 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday. The following ramps will also be closed:
- Sunset Boulevard Northeast on-ramp (Exit 5).

- Northeast 44th Street on- and off-ramps (Exit 7).

During the closure, contractor crews working for WSDOT will shift northbound traffic onto a new bridge as part of the I-405/Renton to Bellevue Widening and Express Toll Lanes Project. A signed detour will be available. This work requires mostly dry weather and could be rescheduled if it rains.

Crews will be paving and striping sections of southbound SR 167. A signed SR 167 detour will be in place for this SR 167 Corridor Improvements Project closure. This work requires mostly dry weather and could be rescheduled if it rains.
