Comment on Open house on Highway 14 upgrades set Jan. 31

Residents are invited to review and discuss with highway officials planned improvements for state Highway 14, between Interstate 205 and Southeast 164th Avenue, at an open house Jan. 31. The Washington State Department of Transportation says the project, by adding lanes to the stretch, will help improve travel times and safety. The $25 million project is still in the design phase, according to the transportation agency, and construction is scheduled to begin in 2020. The open house runs from 4-7 p.m.
