County will reopen one lane of Holmes Point Drive

Beginning Friday, Dec. 28, the King County Road Services Division will temporarily reopen one lane of Holmes Point Drive Northeast in the Juanita area. The threat of slides and roadway collapse has kept the road closed in the 13600 block since Dec. 3, when heavy rains contributed to a slide that damaged the slopes on the northwest side of the roadway.

In recent weeks, county staff has worked to determine what conditions caused the slide, and developed a design plan to repair the damages and prevent a recurrence. The repairs and preventive measures are scheduled to begin the week of Jan. 14. At that point, the road will be closed again through February until the repairs are complete.

The Road Services Division has installed a temporary traffic signal that will allow traffic to pass through in one direction at a time. Motorists are urged to obey the signals and use caution when driving through the area.
