The City of Mill Creek is beginning essential structural repairs to the 164th St SE Bridge over North Creek (Mill Creek No. 1 Bridge) after a recent engineering evaluation identified one of seven support columns on the south side of the street as being in poor condition. The traffic changes will begin Friday, October 23, with restoration work starting once the repair design is finalized. This project will provide critical reinforcement to ensure the continued safety, stability, and reliability of this major transportation corridor.
While this work addresses the bridge’s immediate needs, the City will also conduct a comprehensive study to determine long term solutions to guide future improvements and address increased traffic volume.

Traffic Impacts

To safely accommodate construction crews and equipment, temporary traffic adjustments will be in place through mid December 2026. Traffic patterns may be modified as the project moves from planning into the construction phase.

• Eastbound Lanes Shift: Eastbound traffic on 164th St SE near North Creek Presbyterian Church will shift. The far-right lane nearest the sidewalk will be closed, and vehicles will use the left lane and center turn lane to maintain vehicle flow through the work zone. View a detailed map on the City’s website, link below.

Drivers should expect delays, follow posted signage, and, when possible, plan alternate routes.

“The safety of our community is our top priority,” said Interim Public Works Director Keegan Pocinwong. “These repairs are essential to maintaining safe travel through one of Mill Creek’s most important corridors. We thank the public for their understanding and cooperation during this necessary project.”

The City appreciates the public’s patience as it completes these critical repairs.
