City of Pullman

Kamiaken Street is closed, between Olsen and Main Streets, on August 17 to facilitate the traffic signal replacement at the intersection of Kamiaken  and Main Streets. Kamiaken Street will be opened back up to traffic at the end of the work day.

Friday, August 4 at 6:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. Kamiaken Street, between Olsen and Main Streets, will be closed for the pouring of the base for the new traffic light. Please anticipate one more closure of this block for the final setting in place of the new traffic light pole within the next few weeks. This project is scheduled to be completed by August 18.

Removal of the damaged traffic signal's foundation will take place on Thursday, June 22 at 4:00 p.m. through Friday, June 23 at 10:00 p.m. The section of Kamiaken Street, between Main and Olsen Streets, will close for the duration of the work.
The traffic signal pole at the NE corner of the intersection of Main St. (SR 270) and Kamiaken St. was significantly damaged in a hit and run motor vehicle accident on the night of June 5. As a result, the signal is not functional. Work is scheduled to attempt to replace the traffic signal pole.

Currently, the intersection is being controlled using stop signs on each approach. The City is investigating this and looking at the best solution to repair this signal and determine an estimated timeline to complete the necessary repairs.

Grand Avenue Resurface
Update: 9/30
Rain has delayed paving that was set for Friday, September 30. For today though the weekend, the work zone will accommodate two-way traffic. Parts of the road are uneven or rough. Please exercise caution if traveling through.

Starting Monday, crews will dig out loose soil and crushed rock, re-prep the area, and begin paving, as long as the weather holds. Once paving begins, a one-way flagging operation will be active. Drivers should seek alternate routes, especially during peek commute times, to avoid delays.

Update: 9/29
The expected end date for this project has been pushed back to sometime next week. Thickness of the asphalt encountered along with weather challenges has delayed the predicted schedule. Crews will be paving 9/30 starting at 9 a.m. and are expected to finish by the end of the day. Further details to be released.

Work Start: 9/26
Originally predicted end date: 9/29
