SR 167 Completion Project crews began tearing down the old 70th Avenue East bridge on Friday Sept. 27, 2024 and Saturday Sept. 28, 2024. Excavators fitted with claw and jackhammer-like attachments broke and removed pieces of the bridge and bulldozers and sweepers removed debris from the roadway. Crews will finalize the demolition through mid-Oct. 2024. The 70th Avenue bridge has not been open to travelers since 2021, when the new Wapato Way East bridge opened.
The SR 167 Completion Project builds 6 miles of new tolled highway between Puyallup and the Port of Tacoma. The new highway is being built in stages. The portion currently under construction between I-5 and the Port of Tacoma is scheduled to open in 2026. The third stage is scheduled to begin construction in 2025 and construction work on the last stage will begin in 2026. The entire project is planned for completion by 2029.
