This closure will continue through Friday, Feb. 19 and is set to coincide with the Presidents Day holiday and the Northshore School District mid winter break to minimize local traffic disruption. During the closure crews will reconstruct a 500-foot section of Mink Road at a lower grade to match the new intersection. While this work is underway, drivers will not have access to Mink Road from the Woodinville-Duvall Road/Mink Road intersection. After the road has reopened, traffic on Woodinville-Duvall Road will be routed to the south half of that road while crews continue working on the north half. Drivers will have unrestricted access to Mink Road. King County expects to have the entire project completed in May.http://gismaps.kingcounty.gov/roadalert/Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:54:00 GMTTransportation AlertsKing CountyThe King County Road Service Division is advising motorists that the South Park Bridge spanning the Duwamish River will be closed to both vehicle and marine traffic from 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. daily Wednesday, Feb. 10 through Saturday, Feb. 13. The four-day closure will allow engineers to perform noise and water quality testing and simulate vibration that might occur during bridge construction. During the closure, engineers will conduct pile driving to measure noise, vibration and take water quality samples. Data collected during the tests will assist the county in planning for construction of a new bridge when financing becomes available. During the closure, motorists can detour via the First Avenue South Bridge. The bridge will remain open for bicycle and pedestrian use.http://gismaps.kingcounty.gov/roadalert/Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:03:00 GMTTransportation AlertsKing CountyBenson Road to be closed for construction. Benson Road will be closed between City Hall and south of I-405 all day Saturday Feb. 6, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for emergency line work by Seattle City Light. In addition, Benson Road will be closed for 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. during the night of Feb. 9 as WSDOT construction crews set girders for the new Benson Road bridge over I-405. Saturday’s closure of Benson Road is necessary due to the fact that the Seattle City Light transmission lines that cross Benson experienced a catastrophic failure on January 27, 2010, and have been out of service ever since. Seattle City Light requires a full road closure to work above the road and it is critical that they repair this major part of their transmission grid. In addition, Washington State Patrol will be implementing rolling slowdowns on I-405 between Interstate-5 and the Benson Road Bridge Tuesday, Feb. 9, and Thursday, Feb. 11, from midnight to 4 a.m. During rolling slow-downs delays are expected. Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes such as I-5, I-90, and SR 520. No oversize loads are allowed on I-405 during rolling slow-downs. The northbound SR 167 to northbound I-405 ramp will be closed Wednesday, Feb. 10, between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. Thursday morning. Drivers should follow the detours signs around the work zone or avoid the area if possible.http://rentonwa.govFri, 05 Feb 2010 18:33:00 GMTTransportation AlertsKing County
