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 - 05/06/2021 - Kittitas County has been awarded $3,631,500 in grant funds from the County Road Administration Board’s (CRAB) Rural Arterial Program (RAP) for Hungry Junction Road improvements.
Kittitas County is entering a planning and design phase for Hungry Junction Road improvements from Reecer Creek Road to US-97. The roadway connects Kittitas County residents and visitors to US-97 and provides access to logging, recreation, economic agriculture, and growing residential areas. These road improvements will provide public safety and improved mobility. Improvements proposed include widening of the roadway, added shoulders, improved profile, and removal or relocation of objects within an area of potential impact for drivers should a vehicle leave the roadway. Installation of guardrail and additional roadway striping and signage are also proposed. Immediate funds available are $372,860 allowing for the planning and design phase to begin in 2021, with additional annual funding allocations to occur, a 2024 construction target is anticipated.
