Milestone paving next Wednesday will result in significant road closures and traffic impacts
Information and photos submitted by the City of Chelan
Next Wedneday, May 8, there will be long delays and traffic impacts within the project area due to paving of the full roadway to make it look like a new surface. To reduce impacts to the public and businesses, paving will occur in one day. This will result in a closure of the intersection at Woodin and Columbia. Work will start early in the morning and hopefully the asphalt will be cold enough to drive on by 5 p.m.
All businesses will be open and all roads open to pedestrains and bicyclists. For safety, bicyclists are asked to walk their bikes due to the limited space and compromised condition of the roadway.
