Your commute may be impacted by plans for Improvements to several blocks of North 6th Avenue that are being made for the expansion of neighboring fruit processing facilities. The work won't be completed until late June or early July. The improvements are being made as part of the growth of Washington Fruit & Produce Company operations west of North 6th Avenue and north of River Road. Mountain States Construction, a Sunnyside-based firm, is doing the work on behalf of Washington Fruit. The project includes reconstruction of several blocks of North 6th Avenue, installation of new curbs and gutters, and installation of new street lighting. During the project, periodic traffic restrictions will be in place along the portion of North 6th Avenue that is being worked on. The underpass below BNSF Railway tracks that connects North 6th Avenue to Gordon Road will be closed to all traffic throughout the project. While the project is underway, drivers can expect delays on roads near the project area. Drivers should use alternate routes if possible until the work is completed.
