News Release

City Of Richland Launches 2026 Roadway Preservation And Rehabilitation Projects - 06/19/26

The City of Richland is launching several roadway improvement projects this summer, including the 2026 Pavement Preservation Program and a pavement overlay project on streets throughout the community. Together, these investments will help extend pavement life, improve accessibility, replace aging infrastructure, and maintain safe, reliable transportation routes for residents and visitors.

 

The City's annual Pavement Preservation Program utilizes cost-effective treatments such as slurry seal and microsurfacing to protect roadways from weathering and wear while delaying the need for more extensive reconstruction. Additional roadway rehabilitation work, including pavement overlays, ADA ramp upgrades, and water service replacements, is also underway on several city streets.

 

2026 Pavement Preservation Program

 

Microsurfacing

Microsurfacing work is scheduled to take place later this summer on various streets throughout South Richland, including Leslie Road between Columbia Park Trail and Gage Boulevard. Preparation work, including the removal of existing pavement markings and striping, will occur in advance of the pavement treatment.

 

Motorists should expect temporary lane restrictions, reduced speeds, and brief delays while work is underway.

 

Contractor: Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc.

 

Slurry Seal

Slurry seal operations are scheduled from June 23 through July 8 on residential streets throughout South Richland. Follow-up preparation work is scheduled to begin July 15 and is not expected to require street closures.

 

Residents may experience temporary access restrictions while crews apply the pavement treatment and allow time for curing. Traffic control personnel and signage will be in place to assist motorists and residents.

 

Contractor: Doolittle Construction, Inc.

 

Pavement Overlay Project

In addition to pavement preservation treatments, the City is completing a pavement overlay project on several streets throughout Richland. Construction began in early June and is expected to continue through November 2026.

 

Project streets include:

• Snyder Street (Stevens Drive to Harris Avenue)
• Hanford Street (George Washington Way to Davison Avenue)
• Catskill Street (Mahan Avenue to Pine Avenue)
• Pine Avenue (Catskill Street to Oat Street)
• Van Giesen Street (George Washington Way to Hunt Avenue)
• Logston Boulevard (SR 240 to Robertson Drive)
• Twin Bridges Road (SR 240 to Horn Rapids Landfill)

 

The project includes asphalt pavement overlays, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ramp upgrades, and water service replacements on Snyder Street, Hanford Street, Catskill Street, and Pine Avenue, where aging galvanized service lines are being replaced.

 

Motorists can expect periodic lane restrictions, traffic control measures, and construction activity throughout the duration of the project.

 

Contractor: Granite Construction

 

Resident Notifications

Notifications have been mailed to property owners and residents located along affected roadways. Contractors will also provide advance notice before work begins in specific neighborhoods.

 

The City encourages drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians to use caution in work zones, follow posted traffic control measures, and allow extra travel time when traveling through active construction areas.

 

Maps, schedules, project updates, and additional information are available at richlandwa.gov/ppp.
