Expect delays on portion of East Pierce County highway following accident
The city of Sumner advised drivers Saturday morning to take it slow on East Valley Highway following an early-morning accident.
Officials first thought they would need to close a section of the East Valley Highway in both directions after a utility pole was struck.
Puget Sound Energy workers later determined they could work on repairs without the need for a full closure. Officials told drivers to expect “minor intermittent delays on the East Valley Highway between Forest Canyon and the 4600 block (by Puyallup Street) while PSE repaired the pole that was struck and leaning near the roadway.”
No further details were available.
