Recent Progress
In April 2002, 70% of the survey and data collection was completed. Remaining fieldwork and design work will begin Fall 2004. A Project Control Form has been submitted for approval to advance the construction of this project to the summer of 2007 to coincide with a planned paving project, for cost savings and efficiency.

Design Construction Impacts
The Dryden community has been requesting this signal for a number of years. This project was also identified as part of a Corridor Study conducted on US 2/97 between Peshastin and Wenatchee in June of 2002. There have been several meetings in the past with the community concerning the signal. Prior to this project an on connection ramp from a frontage road will be closed and Alice Ave., a nearby intersection, will be restricted or closed.
