Roadway improvements starting on SR 7, 702 between Yelm and Eatonville
State Routes 7 and 702 between Yelm and Eatonville are going to get a touch-up during the next few months.
Contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will soon resurface sections of both highways in late spring and summer. Pavement repair will begin the week of June 11, followed by chip seal work starting as early as the week of July 9. All work is weather dependent and could be rescheduled.
Work zones:
- SR 702 from milepost 0.3 to 9.3 between SR 507 and SR 7.
- SR 7 from milepost 25.5 to 27.76 south of Eatonville and again from milepost 29 to 36 at SR 702.
This highway preservation work will help prevent expensive repairs in the future and extend the life of the existing roadway.
Travelers can expect:
- One-way alternating traffic with a pilot car or flaggers during daylight hours. Work will occur Mondays through Fridays.
- Reduced speed limit to 25 mph in the work zone.
- Depending on weather, work will continue through summer.
Travelers are advised to give themselves extra time to reach their destinations.
