The $2 Billion Project Changing Pierce County | Highway 167 Expansion

If you’ve driven between Puyallup and Fife recently, you’ve probably seen the massive Highway 167 construction project, but what exactly are they building, why has it taken so long, and what will it mean for Pierce County when it’s finally finished? In this video, Josh Meeks with The PNW Team breaks down the SR 167 Completion Project, including the new connections between Puyallup, Fife, I-5, and the Port of Tacoma. We’ll look at the history of the project, why it has taken decades to get to this point, where your transportation dollars are going, and some of the criticism surrounding Washington’s highway spending and efficiency. And yes… we’re also talking about that old Puyallup River Bridge that sat alongside Meridian for nearly a decade. 😂 More importantly, we’ll explain why this project could have a major impact on the future of Pierce County, from commuting and freight transportation to community growth, walking and biking connections, and recreation. Whether you commute through Puyallup and Fife every day, already live in Pierce County, or you're considering moving to Washington, this is one project you’ll want to understand.
