SR 167 Completion Project

Project overview

The SR 167 Completion Project in Pierce County is part of the Puget Sound Gateway Program, which also includes the SR 509 Completion Project in King County. Together these projects complete two major unfinished highways in the Puget Sound region to create new connections to Interstate 5, the ports of Tacoma and Seattle and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The SR 167 Completion Project constructs 6 new miles of tolled highway between Puyallup and the Port of Tacoma and builds sidewalks and shared-use paths for non-motorized travelers. Completing this unfinished highway will greatly benefit the movement of freight, improve safety and reduce congestion on local roads and highways in the surrounding area.

What to expect

SR 99 traffic shift near the Wapato Way roundabout

Traffic on northbound SR 99 just north of the Wapato Way roundabout will be shifted back into its original lanes as early as Friday, Feb. 21. The traffic shift marks the end of a bypass that's been in place since November 2023. The bypass allowed construction crews to build a new bridge over Hylebos Creek. 

The SR 167 Completion Project will close a crucial gap in the state's highway system by completing the unfinished SR 167 between Puyallup and the Port of Tacoma. The new four-lane highway will be called an expressway and will be electronically tolled (no tollbooths) at 2 toll points - one west of I-5 and the other east of I-5.
