The SR 167 Completion Project will build the remaining four miles of SR 167 between Meridian and I-5, completing a long-planned connection to I-5. The Project also includes a two-mile connection from I-5 to the Port of Tacoma.
The SR 167 Completion Project is a critical missing link in the state's highway network. SR 167 is the primary freeway connecting the Kent and Puyallup River valleys to the Seattle/Tacoma/Bellevue metropolitan area. Its completion will benefit the movement of freight, while improving safety and reducing congestion on local roads and highways in the surrounding area.
When completed, drivers will see a divided highway with access points at interchanges in key locations: SR 509, 54th Avenue, I-5, Valley Avenue East and SR 161.

The SR 167 Completion Project was originally funded over a 16-year timeline with targeted completion in 2031. The state Legislature accelerated Program funding in the 2019 session, moving project completion to 2028.
Gateway Program funding totals approximately $2 billion from four sources: 1) $1.6 billion from the Connecting Washington funding package; 2) $130 million from local contributions; 3) $180 million from tolling; and 4) Federal grants. The SR 167 Completion Project will receive about $1 billion of the Program’s total funds.
