Road Construction Season Is Here

Before you get upset that someone was taking a picture from behind the wheel, look at the speedometer. Flat zero. Which is the reason for this weekend heads-up.

As we look to another great spring weekend of fishing and outdoor activities, make sure you keep in mind that our rough winter has prompted the WSDOT crews to get working on repairing our roads for the summer travel season.

Many area highways and interstates have been prepped, including Highway 24 past Moxee and Interstate 82 outside the Tri-Cities. Work zone signs are already in place, so don't expect to be able to avoid construction just by taking another route.

My advice is to make sure you've checked all your fluids and be prepared for stop-and-go traffic in the warm weather.
