WSDOT Traffic Advisory

WSDOT restricts drivers to one-way alternating traffic on SR 22 near Mabton, Nov. 12 and 13

Drivers should plan for delays and consider alternate routes.

YAKIMA – On Wednesday and Thursday, November 12 and 13, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., eastbound and westbound drivers will be restricted to one-way alternating traffic while Sunnyside Valley Irrigation District replaces a pipe under SR 22 seven miles east of Mabton.

Drivers will need to slow down and pay attention to the signs, cones, barrels, and flaggers that will direct them through the construction zone.

Drivers can now get current traffic and weather information by dialing 5-1-1 from most phones. This new traveler information system builds upon the highly successful Washington State Highway hotline that managed 4.6 million calls each year. Callers can also use 5-1-1 to get statewide construction, mountain pass condition, and state ferry system information, as well as toll free numbers for passenger rail and airlines. TTY users can call 1-800-833-6388.
