Major Pierce County bridge reopens two weeks after flood-related closure
A major Pierce County bridge has reopened, two weeks after a flood-related closure.
The Sumner Police Department announced in a Facebook post Monday afternoon that they were reopening the Stewart Road Bridge, which runs over the White River.
“While the White River still runs high, it has lowered enough to get the bridge and route back open,” the post said. “Thank you all for your patience during the closure!”
The city closed the bridge on Dec. 9, due to flooding from the White River during the atmospheric river event that caused rivers to flood statewide.
