Project Description

Imminent conflict, with vulnerable transportation users on this otherwise narrow, rural, freight road with no shoulders, bike lanes, or sidewalks, can be mitigated with this project. OIE highway is one of two well-traveled truck routes used to bring produce from nearby farms to the Citys food processing facilities, allowing local and regional freight movement without adding trips on nearby I-82. Completion of the project will improve the structural load carrying capability for OIE Highway, eliminating the need for load and width limits in the project area. The lighting, curb, bike lane, and gutter improvements will make cyclist and pedestrian movements attractive when the Prosser School District improves its property near OIE Highway and Albro Road. Providing active transportation options may reduce future motorized congestion and promote active, healthy communities on a roadway with no current pedestrian or bicycle facilities in place.

Existing Condition

Currently, OIE Highway is operating at a reduced structural load carrying capability due to failing road surface, subsurface, and crumbling shoulders at the fog line. Load and width limits are currently imposed on OIE Highway in the project limits. Currently, there is no intersection lighting, an isolated curb and gutter in Segment 2, and no cyclist or pedestrian facilities exist along Segments 1 3 in this application. Prosser School District is improving its property near OIE Highway and Albro Road to add a new elementary school. In the same proximity as the school, a 154-unit housing development was recently approved and in 2021, new water and sewer were installed for the development. Though there has been limited pedestrian and bicycle activity on this freight corridor between Prosser and Grandview in the past, presence of walkers and rollers is about to change significantly.
