Better take a detour — downed power line closes key Tacoma arterial for hours, city says
A stretch of road connecting Northeast Tacoma to the rest of the city is expected to be closed for hours Sunday following a collision that knocked down a power line, according to an online statement from the city.
Marine View Drive is closed between Slayden Road (near the Cliff House) and East 11th Street, the city’s statement said. Crews from Tacoma Public Utilities responded to the scene.
The city’s statement advises residents to use alternate routes until the road reopens. The utility estimated that repairs would take 8 to ten hours.
