County Road Projects

Chumstick Highway Phase V: The road improvement project between Plain and Leavenworth begins Monday, Aug. 7. A contractor for the county will be working between milepost 5.15 to milepost 6.60 (starting at the end of the previous phase constructed in 2014 and ending just north of the Chumstick Bridge No. 4, or about 7 miles south of Plain). The Chumstick project will take 25 working days. During construction, the road will be at one lane, with flaggers directing traffic. A pilot car also will lead motorists through the work area. Plan for traffic delays of up to 20 minutes or avoid the area if you can.

Peshastin Bridge: On Thursday, Aug. 10, a contractor for Public Works will be completing a routine inspection of the Peshastin Bridge. Work will be from 1 to 5 p.m. and will require a lane closure at the Peshastin end of the bridge. Motorists should plan for one-lane, flagger-controlled traffic on the bridge during inspection time. Plan for minor traffic delays or use alternate routes during the work hours. The bridge deck is scheduled for replacement next year.

Goodwin Road/Sunset Road Improvement Project: The consultant completed paving of the project area and is moving onto sidewalk, mailboxes, and electrical work. Plan to see flaggers continue to direct traffic in the project area during working hours. More information about the project is on the project’s webpage.

Maintenance plans may change with weather conditions or equipment difficulties. Visit the Public Works website, where the weekly road maintenance information is regularly updated.
