Delays expected north of Colfax starting Tuesday
Construction begins Tuesday on U.S. Highway 195 and will continue for several months to replace cracked and damaged concrete panels. The work is along a 10-mile stretch of the road between Cashup Flatts weigh station and the State Route 271 interchange in northern Whitman County.
Work is expected to last through September.
Work will begin in both the southbound and northbound lanes in an area that includes a passing lane. The passing lane will remain open for alternating one-way traffic. Drivers can expect delays of up to 20 minutes through the duration of the project. Travelers can also expect delays on State Route 27 because of an ongoing chip seal project.
