--Highway 167 'Missing Link'--
The State Highways Department has announced that construction of this section of SR 167 between Sumner and Pacific City has been delayed for lack of funding. However, a $900,000 contract has been awarded Scarsella Bros., Seattle, to construct the 1.4-mile section between Main Street at Sumner and 32nd Street East (in foreground). A temporary connection will carry traffic from the freeway to the nearby West Valley Highway at 32nd, Ralph Kerslake, the department's District 3 engineer, said Wednesday.
