Crews begin repaving 22 miles of US 395 between Lee Road and Ritzville in Adams County on April 4 to help smooth the road for drivers and increase the lifespan of the roadway.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will resurface the asphalt pavement in the southbound lanes. They were last resurfaced in 1995 and 1998, with two separate projects. The northbound lanes were constructed with concrete when the highway was expanded in the mid-90s.

WSDOT’s contractor, Central Washington Asphalt of Moses Lake, WA, is handling the $6.5 million project.

Drivers can expect southbound single-lane traffic through the construction area and should be alert for slowing traffic. The project should take about 12 weeks to complete.
