Chelan - UPPER SQUILCHUCK ROAD
Project Number: 1539
From milepost 0 to milepost 2.64
RATA Funds: $2,848,500
Legislative District: 12
Status:
Date Approved: 2009
Upper Squilchuck Road is located south of the City of Wenatchee, in Chelan County and is the only access to homes, logging, the Mission Ridge Ski Resort, and other recreational opportunities in that area. Due to the intense, year around use, the road in its unimproved condition was failing fast.
The project provided an all-weather base and HMA surfacing. The road was widened from 30 feet to 32 feet and the slow traffic climbing lane was lengthened. Improvements to the vertical and horizontal alignment were made, including smoothing one tight curve so that speed warning signs were no longer needed. Drainage and clear zone area was addressed along the project length. In addition, the project improved the alignment of the Wenatchee Heights Road and Mission Ridge Road / State Park approaches.
The county has received several compliments on the improvements made at the Mission Ridge Road / State Parks / Squilchuck Road intersection.
