News Release

Road Closure Planned On Horn Rapids Road For North Horn Rapids Sewer Extension Project (Photo) - 06/18/26

Beginning Monday, June 22, 2026, a section of Horn Rapids Road between Kingsgate Way and the Framatome entrance will be closed to through traffic as part of the City of Richland's North Horn Rapids Sewer Extension Project. The closure is expected to remain in place through July 28, 2026, while crews install new sewer infrastructure and road reconstruction to support future growth and development in north Richland.

 

During construction, motorists will be detoured via Kingsgate Way, Battelle Boulevard, and Stevens Drive. Access to Framatome will remain available on Horn Rapids Road but only from the East (Stevens Drive direction).

 

Reader boards have been placed in the area to notify motorists of the upcoming closure. Framatome has also been informed of the project schedule and is communicating access information to employees.

 

The North Horn Rapids Sewer Extension Project will construct approximately 6,500 feet of sanitary sewer main and related infrastructure to expand sewer service capacity in the Horn Rapids area. The project is part of the City's ongoing efforts to support economic development and planned growth while maintaining reliable utility services.

 

Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and follow posted detour routes and traffic control devices throughout the construction period.

 

Additional information about the project, including maps and updates, is available at the City's project page: richlandwa.gov/Projects

 

The City of Richland appreciates the public's patience and cooperation during construction.
