Project Evaluation: SR 225, Benton City Vicinity Paving

Benton County

This project paved both lanes of SR 225 within the city limits of Benton City to provide a new driving surface in place of the old deteriorated pavement.  The contractor updated highway signing and pavement striping, improved sidewalk ramps to meet current standards, and built new cement concrete curb and gutter. 

As a result of these improvements, drivers enjoy a smooth ride, the life of the roadway is extended, and safety is improved for both motorists and pedestrians.

This project was constructed as designed.  Only one change order was needed to repair some unforeseen damage to a bridge joint.
