Phase 1, Segment 1A construction completed the segment from Oakesdale Ave SW to Naches Ave SW.
Ultimately, future projects will complete the four/five lane arterial that will serve as a connection between West Valley Highway (SR-181) and the East Valley Road. The new east-west arterial roadway will connect the cities of Renton and Tukwila, and provide significant congestion relief to existing arterials, for both freight mobility and general motorists.
