Starting Monday, Aug. 17, both directions of State Route 169 will close between Southeast 332nd Street and Plass Road near Jones Lake for 35 days to remove a fish barrier. The closure will run until 5 a.m. on Sept. 21.

Local access remains permitted north and south of the closure, and businesses along SR 169 will stay open. WSDOT will provide signed detours for drivers. The project aims to improve fish passage in the Puyallup River system.

The closure affects drivers traveling through Puyallup's southeast corridor. Residents should plan for delays and use detour routes. WSDOT advises travelers to check for updates before heading out.
