Water Street Overlay Project
On April 7, the Ellensburg City Council approved the Water Street Overlay - Main Street to Bender Project, a 2.34-mile-long grind and overlay with ADA ramps upgraded from Main St. and Manitoba Ave. to Water St. and Bender Road.

A majority of this project is funded by the Federal Highway Administration through the Washington State Department of Transportation. This project will bring 145 ADA ramps to code and upgrade five intersections to the latest video detection equipment, which includes bicycle detection. The project will also consist of grinding 74,000 square yards of old asphalt and overlaying with 10,000 tons of new asphalt. That’s 250 dump trucks of new asphalt!

The contractor will be working 4 days a week, 10 hours a day (no scheduled work on Fridays), and this project is expected to last 5.5 months.

Current Schedule:
• Work starts April 14th with sawcutting at ADA ramps.
• Demo of ADA ramps starts the week of April 21st and will continue until early July. There are 145 ADA ramps to address along with associated concrete and utilities. The plan is to start at Manitoba and Water on the northeast corner and work every other intersection in the northbound direction.
• Roadway utilities will be lowered mid-June in preparation for grinding in mid-July.
• Paving will occur in late July.
• Pavement markings will occur in late August/early September.

The schedule is subject to change.
