Antoine Creek Road Closure 9 am – noon on Tuesday, April 9
information released
ROAD ALERT: Antoine Creek Road near Chelan will be closed from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesday, April 9, so a contractor with Chelan PUD can remove hazardous trees. The closure will be on upper Antoine Creek Road at milepost 3.20. There is no detour: the three-hour road closure means traffic will not be allowed through the work zone. Local emergency responders have been notified of the closure and will be given access in the event of an emergency.
ROAD ALERT: Construction starts Monday on the Wenatchee Heights Road Phase II improvement project. With construction will come a detour around the work zone via Wheeler Hill Road.
The project is the second phase of road improvements on Wenatchee Heights Road. In 2020, we completed similar improvements along a 1.32-mile stretch of the roadway, from Squilchuck Road to Wheeler Hill Road.
The project is from milepost 1.32 (near Wheeler Hill Road) to milepost 2.10 (near Edgemont Drive). This second phase of the project will take 25 days, to be completed by early May.
Most of the work zone will be closed and a detour implemented via Wheeler Hill Road. During construction, motorists heading down Wenatchee Heights Road will see one-way, flagger-controlled traffic for the section between Edgemont Drive and Wheeler Hill Road. A pilot car may lead motorists through the work zone to Wheeler Hill Road, where the detour begins.
The posted speed within the construction limits is temporarily reduced to 25 mph. Motorists should plan for minor traffic delays. We will post project updates to the Public Works Facebook page.
