Commuting through Black Diamond may become difficult for some with the Rock Creek Bridge closing to all traffic mid-May.

According to the city, the bridge will be closed starting 7 a.m. Friday, May 19, and opening again 5 p.m. Sunday, May 21 for the construction of a new offsite water main and bridge paving.

Access to local neighborhoods within 236th Ave SE and Bruckners Way will be maintained during the closure.

The closure affects all westbound and eastbound traffic, as well as pedestrians and bicyclists.

Flaggers and police officers will be in place to direct traffic.

More information will be posted on the city’s website, www.ci.blackdaimond.wa.us, or questions can be sent to mdrt@ci.blackdiamond.wa.us or called in at 360-886-5700.
