A map of SR 507 near Spanaway shows an orange icon at 208th Street South where a new roundabout is located.

A view of the new 208th Street South sign along SR 507 where a new roundabout was built. A white sign says "ROAD WILL BE CLOSED 9/2 - 9/30". Orange barrels are removed from the roadway and heavy construction equipment is parked along the shoulder of the roadway.

Sinuous lines of a new roundabout encourage drivers to slow down. A white truck leads a line of traffic using the new roundabout.

Expect slow going on SR 16 WB approaching the Purdy exit today. We're out doing some emergency guardrail repairs. The work has to be done ASAP for safety, otherwise we would wait for a time with lower traffic volumes. Real time travel info at wsdot.com/Travel/Real-... @piercetransit.bsky.social

Heads up I-5 travelers! 🚨This week, 9/21-9/25, we're working overnight on southbound lanes between DuPont & Lacey. Lanes reduce: 6 pm-6 am, M-Th & 6:30 pm Fri. to 9 am Sat. More info: bit.ly/4we6ZaO Check out the work from last week on northbound! @traffic.wsdot.wa.gov @piercetransit.bsky.social

Construction workers in high-vis gear and hard hats pour a new concrete panel on I-5, smoothing the surface with a variety of tools. Bright lights are set around the work zone as a semi-truck passes by the open lane behind them.

A completed concrete panel needs to time to cure, so construction barrels remain in place until the following morning.
