State Route 702 (SR 702) is a 9.32-mile (15.00 km) long two-lane state highway located entirely in Pierce County, Washington, United States. The highway travels through rural Pierce County, and has existed since at least 1931 as State Highway 10, then as Secondary State Highway 5J until the 1964 state highway renumbering when it was renumbered to SR 702. The roadway the highway is routed along, continues east to an interchange with SR 161.

Route description

State Route 702 (SR 702) starts at a

undivided highway with a 55 miles per hour (89 km/h) speed limit posted.[1]

Every year the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) conducts a series of surveys on its highways in the state to measure traffic volume. This is expressed in terms of annual average daily traffic (AADT), which is a measure of traffic volume for any average day of the year. In 2009, WSDOT calculated that as few as 4,400 cars traveled over the highway at the eastern terminus at SR 7, and as many as 8,600 cars at the western terminus at SR 507.[3]

History

The roadway linking McKenna to now SR 7 has existed since at least 1931,

Primary State Highway 5.[7]

In February 2010, Representative Tom Campbell secured funding to install a traffic light at the eastern terminus, claiming it "will save lives and support jobs."[8]
