For the next six weeks, drivers using state Route 167 in Renton and Kent should prepare for overnight lane closures.

The upcoming lane closures include:

• Monday, Aug. 21 to Friday, Aug. 25: up to two lanes of southbound SR 167 from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.

• Monday, Aug. 21 to Friday, Aug. 25: up to two lanes of northbound SR 167 from 8 p.m. to 4:30 a.m.
