US 97A (MP 202.39-80) 1/2 Mi. S. of Rocky Reach Dam Unstable Slope
Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., expect single lane,flagger controlled traffic with less than ten minute delays where crews are completing the temporary widening (shoofly) alongside the train tracks (east shoulder) to provide the work zone space across the road under the rock slope (west shoulder). Crews will also be placing concrete barrier to separate traffic from the rock fall and work zone.
Beginning the week of March 5th, the rock scaling work begins. Expect a series of road closures for 14 days over three weeks between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekdays only. Daily openings are scheduled from 10 to 10:30 a.m., Noon to 12:30, and 2 to 2:30 p.m.
In this $3.1 million project, Janod Inc. crews are scaling an unstable rock slope and installing netting, rock bolts and dowels along the slope 2 miles north of Wenatchee. The projects also constructs a temporary shoulder "shoofly" traffic lane (towards the train tracks). This allows cranes to access the slopes. Construction began Feb. 21, 2012 and should be complete by June.
