Access to Framatome will be available on Horn Rapids Road, however, ONLY from the East (Stevens Drive direction).
Reader boards are placed throughout the area notifying drivers of the upcoming closure.

The Closure Is Expected to Remain in Place Through July 28th

Crews will be installing new sewer infrastructure and road reconstruction that will support future gowth and development in north Richland. According to a press release from the City of Richland:

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.

Plan Ahead, Don't Be Caught Off Guard, Add Extra Time to Your Commute

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