Utility work closes South Tacoma Way Friday night

Drivers should plan ahead for a total closure of South Tacoma Way approaching the Nalley Valley Viaduct this weekend. 

Beginning at approximately 9:45 p.m. Friday, May 30, crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will close all lanes of South Tacoma Way between South Pine and South Wilkeson streets to through-traffic. Through-motorists will detour via South Center Street. Access to local businesses within the closed section of South Tacoma Way will be provided. 

South Tacoma Way will reopen at 4:30 a.m. Saturday, May 31. 

The road closure will allow crews to perform underground electrical work as part of WSDOT’s I-5/SR 16 Eastbound Nalley Valley project.
