Night closures planned for eastbound SR 16 at Nalley Valley

Crews will make a significant step toward completing new on-ramps from South Sprague Avenue to northbound and southbound Interstate 5 by installing more bridge girders over a series of upcoming nights beginning next week. 

In order to safely install the girders, the roadway lanes near the activity must be closed. Drivers should plan ahead for a series of total night closures on eastbound State Route 16 at South Union Avenue. In addition, crews will close all lanes of South Tacoma Way over one night.
