Project Title & Location
US 2/Dryden-Signal - Dryden

Project Description
Install traffic signal system to reduce traffic conflicts and accidents.

Contractor/Consultant
Project not yet advertised or awarded

Recent Progress
In April 2002, 70% of the survey and data collection was completed.  Remaining fieldwork and design work will begin Fall 2004.

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.  The intersection is being monitored as it technically does not meet “signal warrants”.

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
A draft Environmental Classification Summary was completed October 1997.  Under NEPA guidelines, the project is categorized as a Documented CE (Categorical Exclusion) and Categorically Exempt under SEPA guidelines.

Impacts to Traffic
Occasional lane closures can be anticipated during construction.  Also, modifications will occur to the existing paint striping.
