Traffic on SR 167 (WSDOT)

PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. — The two left lanes of northbound State Route 167 are shut down until further notice at 3rd Avenue Southwest in Pacific.

The Washington State Department of Transportation said it’s because an over-height vehicle hit the bridge, damaging it.

During Tuesday’s morning commute, WSDOT said they were seeing a five-mile backup from Pacific to Puyallup.

No word on when the bridge will be repaired, so drivers should expect delays if their commute involves driving through this area.
