US 97 - Toppenish to Union Gap - Corridor Improvements

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.
