Project Complete July 2009
Construction of the illumination installation and intersection improvements at Reynolds Road began June 1 and was complete July 23, 2009.
The new lighting at B S.E. was combined with the 2008 Region Chip Seal Project and was completed in July, 2008.
This Safety Improvement Program project constructed illumination at the intersections of SR 26 and B S.E. and at SR 26 and Reynolds Road. Additionally, left turn lanes and right turn pockets were added both north and southbound at Reynolds Road.
Why is WSDOT
illuminating these intersections?
Reynolds Road and "B" S.E. have an accident history of night time collisions.
Reynolds Road is located between the City of Othello and the Adams County line. It's busy with agricultural traffic, commuter traffic, residential traffic and long distance traffic, to and from WSU. Illumination will improve safety at this busy intersection.
The End Result
The potential for night time collisions is reduced with the addition of illumination at these two locations.
Project Benefits
Safety and mobility is improved.
