The City of Pasco announced Tuesday $2.1 million from WSDOT will be utilized to add a traffic signal and other improvements to the increasingly-used intersection.

The funding is from the Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The project will install a traffic signal, marked crosswalks, sidewalk extensions, and will also coordinate the signal with those at Road 68 to improve traffic flow.

Pasco officials say the area was deemed a large priority in the 2024 City Road Safety Plan, and now it will be able to be carried out.
