Enumclaw, WA – Commuters in southeast King County continue to face delays as the White River bridge remains closed this week, prompting stepped-up safety patrols by local law enforcement.
According to the Enumclaw Police Department, officers are working closely with the King County Sheriff’s Office to ensure drivers and their vehicles remain safe during the closure. The departments said extra patrols will continue both day and night around the bridge area.
Drivers who notice safety issues or concerns near the closure can file an online report through the King County Sheriff’s Office website. Those on the Buckley side of the river are asked to contact the Buckley Police Department directly.
The White River bridge serves as a key connection between King and Pierce counties, and the ongoing closure has led to longer detours and travel times for many daily commuters. Officials have not provided a reopening date but say maintaining public safety remains their top priority.
Residents are encouraged to use caution and allow extra time for travel while crews and law enforcement continue operations in the area.
