State Highway 14 closures slated at Lieser RoadFree

Travelers who use state Highway 14 or the Lieser Road overpass at night should plan for three weeks of overnight closures.
Eastbound travelers will detour around the closure and keep going by using the offramps and onramps at Exit 4.

Beginning Monday and continuing through the end of May, eastbound lanes of Highway 14 will be closed at Lieser Road as contractor Tapani finishes repair work on the southern end of the Lieser overpass. The overpass will also close.

Closing lanes of the highway is necessary to ensure traveler safety, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation, as the bridge work occurs directly above the travel lanes.

Here are the closure details:
One lane eastbound will be closed from 8 p.m. Monday to 6 a.m. Tuesday.
All eastbound lanes and the Lieser overpass will close from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays; along with 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. May 20-24; 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. May 24-25; 8 a.m. to 6 a.m. May 27-31.
The left lane of westbound Highway 14 may also be closed. Emergency responders will still have access to the Lieser overpass.

During overnight closures, crews will remove concrete formwork and a temporary traffic barrier, perform concrete patching on the bridge deck and complete bridge girder repairs underneath the bridge. The $2.19 million project is scheduled for completion this summer.
