		News from King County Department of Transportation Release date: May 1, 2008 Tolt Bridge to close for four weeks to prep for new bridge opening The Tolt Bridge west of Carnation on Northeast Tolt Hill Road will be closed from Monday, May 5 until Friday, May 30, as the King County Road Services Division prepares to open a new span across the Snoqualmie River. During the four-week closure, crews will be completing a new alignment that connects the existing roadway with the new bridge, which should open by June. The new bridge is approximately 165 feet upstream from the current bridge. The new bridge will be wider, safer for motorists and pedestrians, plus is designed to reduce river flooding in that location. The existing bridge is more than 80 years old. It has limited sight distance, a narrow roadway, and restricted weight limits. It also does not meet current seismic, safety, or roadway design standards. For more information, visit the project Website.
