Kittitas (pronounced 'KITT-i-tass') County is located in central Washington State. It spans from the lush forested Cascade Mountains to the upper Yakima River Valley plains and the Columbia River.
Kittitas County, WA - 11/14/2014 - Construction on Kittitas Highway has begun by the contractor Belsaas & Smith. The contractor has created a web site for construction updates, showing closures and dates. We urge drivers using Kittitas Highway to check this web site for the latest information on the project. This will help you to plan your detour routes. The website is: http://www.ellensburgconstruction.com/kittitas-highway-updates.html
Detours will be marked. Construction work speed reductions will be in place. Please honor the reduced speed limits and watch out for the construction workers! To quote Kittitas County Sheriff Gene Dana: "Excessive speed and inattention in construction areas lead to tragedy. Orange cones on the road mean traffic hazards or people working close by. Slow down and pay attention. Deputies will be working these areas to slow down traffic and cite violators." You can also find a link to the Belsaas & Smith construction update page and additional construction information on Kittitas County Public Works web pages at: http://www,co.kittitas.wa.us/public-works/default.aspx Thank you for your patience for the duration of the Kittitas Highway Safety Improvement Project. Please call Kittitas County Public Works with any questions or concerns. We can be reached by telephone at (509) 962-7523, or via Email at: publicworks@co.kittitas.wa.us
