SR 202 near Fall City will close July 24-27 and Aug 6-10 for emergency riverbank repairs.

This stretch of SR 202 lost part of its support after major storms eroded the riverbank. Emergency repairs will rebuild the embankment and help protect the roadway before next winter.

Last winter’s storms did more than raise the Snoqualmie River. They also washed away part of the riverbank supporting SR 202 just east of the SR 202/SR 203 roundabout.

Starting this week, we’ll begin emergency repairs to rebuild the embankment before next winter. The first major travel impacts come this weekend (July 24-27), when SR 202 will fully close for the weekend.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• Alternating traffic: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 22 and Thursday, July 23 while crews prepare the work zone.
• Full closure: 9 p.m. Friday, July 24 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 27.
• Second full closure: 9 p.m. Thursday, August 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, August 10
• Location: SR 202 just east of the SR 202/SR 203 roundabout in Fall City.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR DRIVERS:

• Detour: Signed detour via I-90.
• Travel impacts: Expect detours to add 45 minutes or more to your trip.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR RIVER USERS:

Recreational river users may also be affected by this work. Portions of the Snoqualmie and Raging rivers may be closed during in-water construction work to keep people safe while construction vehicles and cranes repair the riverbank. Public access to the rivers and nearby boat launches may also be affected during this work.

WHY WE’RE DOING THIS:

Major storms in December 2025 and March 2026 eroded the riverbank supporting the highway. During the closure crews will place woody material, boulders, streambed gravel mix and stone fragments to restore the roadside embankment to its original grade and help protect the roadway from future damage.
