by Matt McGee on July 23rd, 2008. Filed under: Richland News.The City of Richland is working on Van Giesen Avenue and if you drive along the road frequently, you may want to find a detour from now through mid-August. Here are the details from the city’s news release:
PROJECT WILL RESTRICT VAN GIESEN TRAFFIC
Traffic will be disrupted through July as the city contractor work on the Van Giesen Avenue overlay project.
Lane restrictions are in place on Van Giesen from Jadwin Avenue to George Washington Way. Contract crews are repairing curbs, gutters and driveway entrances and installing intersection warning strips, designed for the visually impaired.
From July 28 through August 15, the same section of Van Giesen will be closed as crews complete repairs to drainage structures, install new grates and repave the surface.
Temporary traffic controls are in place at various locations. The City of Richland and its general contractor, Inland Paving Inc., are making every effort to keep businesses within the project construction accessible.
Van Giesen’s intersections with Jadwin Avenue and George Washington Way will remain open.
Project questions may be addressed to the City’s Project Engineer, Jack Arnold, at 942-7791.
