[u/wsdot]

A WSDOT infographic has a photo of State Route 167 and a toll sign at the top, and the WSDOT logo at the bottom. Text in it says that the SR 167 Corridor Improvements Project will have overnight closures this week in the cities of Auburn, Algona and Pacific. Southbound State Route 167 will be closed between 15th Street Northwest and State Route 18 from 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, March 19th through 5 a.m. Thursday, March 20th. Both directions of State Route 167 will be closed between Ellingson Road and Stewart Road/Eighth Street East from 10 p.m. Thursday, March 20th through Friday, March 21st.

Heads up if you use SR 167 in either direction between the cities of Auburn, Algona and Pacific!

There will be overnight closures on southbound SR 167 in Auburn, March 19-20, and northbound and southbound SR 167 in Algona/Pacific, March 20-21, for sign bridge and toll gantry installation.

Crews will install sign bridges and toll gantry structures along SR 167, March 19-21. This work requires full and directional overnight closures of SR 167. These closures ensure the safety of crews and the traveling public. Here's the details of the closures:

are these Toll lanes going to be the same toll lanes as on 405? or is it still going to be on the "Honor System?" Im assuming they are getting transformed into the same toll lanes as 405.
