I drive it every day...George Washington Way in Richland. I know when it's all done, it'll be smooth sailing for all motorists. However, for the time being, pack your patience. You may have to spend a few more minutes to reach your destination. Or, plan ahead to use another route.

The City of Richland Advises Drivers of Lane Closures to be Prepared for This Week.

The City of Richland advises motorists of significant traffic impacts occurring this week as part of the South George Washington Way (GWW) Intersection Project. Crews will be completing critical work necessary to advance the installation of new traffic signal infrastructure.

Between 7 am and 3 pm on Tuesday and Wednesday, the following traffic adjustments will be in place:

• The northbound GWW left-turn lane onto Aaron/Adams will be closed.

• The inside southbound lane of GWW will be closed to accommodate removal and replacement of the dual-faced traffic curbing south of the intersection.

• Aaron Drive will remain open, as will the southbound left turn onto Columbia Point Drive.

• Columbia Point Drive westbound onto GWW will be reduced to one lane.

• Aaron Drive detour: Comstock Street to Goethals Drive.
Plan for delays, and please follow posted detours, and reduce your speed in the work zones.
Overnight work Is Planned for Wednesday, November 12th
