NB SR 167 Ramp in Renton to Close For Weekend Road Repairs

The northbound SR 167 ramp in Renton and northbound I-405 through Bellevue will close at 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9.

Northbound Interstate 405 through Bellevue and the northbound State Route 167 ramp to northbound I-405 in Renton will be closed this weekend as crews repair a corroded drainage pipe and several hundred cracked concrete panels, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Both sections of highway will close at 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 9. Northbound I-405 will begin reopening at 4 a.m. Monday, Aug. 12. All ramps, including SR 167, will reopen by 5 a.m. that Monday. 

Crews will work to decommission an aging 30-year-old metal drainage pipe located 12 feet under the SR 167 roadway. The pipe, which is part of the stormwater runoff drainage system, will be replaced by a new, heavy-duty rubber pipe and located directly under the ramp shoulder.

Drivers should expect delays on northbound SR 167 and State Route 181 approaching I-405 and along the detour route
