Project overview
Since 2018, the Yakama Nation Tribal Council has signed resolutions supporting WSDOT’s proposals to add seven roundabouts at US 97 and SR 22 intersections. Roundabouts at US 97/ McDonald/Becker Road and at US 97/Jones Road are complete. Roundabouts at US 97/ SR 22, SR 22/ SR 223, and US 97/ Larue Rd have not been scheduled. Construction of the roundabout on US 97/ Lateral A is scheduled in 2025.
What to expect
Roundabout construction on US 97 at Laterial A begins in 2025. During construction, WSDOT and contractor crews will keep US 97 open and traffic moving. Single-lane and shoulder closures will occur periodically with minor delays. A detailed construction schedule has not been approved, however, travelers will receive advanced notice in the infrequent event of a full closure.
There is currently no timeline determined for the additional roundabouts.
