Night closures scheduled for East 28th Street through August

Starting Monday, Aug. 10, contractor crews will begin a three-week effort to install water lines and roadway drainage, and to repave East 28th Street in Tacoma. The work will require East 28th Street to be closed to all traffic between Portland Avenue East and East Bay Street from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. each weeknight through the end of August. 

Signed detours will direct traffic around the closures. Motorists headed to northbound Interstate 5 will be detoured via East 26th Street; those going to State Route 167 will be detoured via East 29th Street. 

This work is part of WSDOT’s ongoing I-5: Portland Avenue to Port of Tacoma Road – Northbound HOV project.
