Emergency repairs completed on Enumclaw highway after floodwater damage

State Route 410 in Enumclaw has fully reopened after part of the highway was damaged from floodwater earlier this month.

The highway was closed Dec. 10 between Enumclaw and Greenwater after the eastbound lane was severely eroded. Crews reportedly fixed the emergency repairs earlier than anticipated near Boise Creek, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation in a news release.

The highway was reopened six days later after the closure on the westbound shoulder with a single-lane, temporary gravel bypass, the release said.

“Our maintenance and construction teams moved quickly once conditions allowed, working around the clock to assess damage and make these repairs,” said Steve Strand, WSDOT engineering manager for Snohomish and King counties. “Good weather, strong coordination between WSDOT groups and a dedicated contractor allowed us to reopen SR 410 sooner than expected.”
