N Chelan Avenue provides access to a number of residences and a church. It is a local truck route to agricultural areas. The existing condition of N Chelan Avenue is rated at a 69.6 PCR according to TIB. The longitudinal cracks from weather and cyclical loading are prominent, as well as the deterioration of the shoulder. The roadway is also narrow, and the reconstruction and widening of the road will improve the safety and function of the major roadway network. The resurfacing by way of new asphalt construction will improve the life of the pavement and roadway.

Project Description
The proposed improvements to N Chelan Avenue from Poplar to 3rd Street are to reconstruct the existing 4 feet of pavement on the edge of the existing roadway. An additional 2 feet will be added to provide a full 6 feet of reconstruction on each side, widening the roadway. In addition, the shoulder will be reconstructed and graded with gravel for a smooth, safe and wider shoulder. A new HMA layer will also be added to finish the roadway to improve the surface. The pre-leveling will be used to prepare the existing grade to create the appropriate surface for overlay.
