USAState Route 167 Reopens in Kent After Flooding Closure

Kent, WA — The City of Kent Government has announced that State Route 167 is now open, following several days of flooding that left water over the roadway.

Officials confirmed that the northbound lanes of SR 167 have reopened, while the southbound lanes were reopened earlier on Wednesday. The highway serves as a critical transportation corridor, and its reopening comes after an intensive, multi-day recovery effort.

City leaders thanked regional partners, emergency crews, and field teams who worked around the clock to restore the roadway and ensure it was safe for travel. Drivers are encouraged to proceed with caution as conditions continue to improve.

Further updates on road conditions and traffic advisories will be shared through official City of Kent channels.
