Leavenworth, WALocal News

The City of Leavenworth is launching a crucial construction project on Commercial Street, scheduled to commence on May 5, 2014. Spearheaded by Pipkin Construction, the project focuses on vital sidewalk and street repairs from Division Street to Ninth Street. As part of the improvements, the street will be fully closed to vehicle traffic from Monday through Thursday, lasting until May 22, with evenings and weekends remaining accessible. The scope of work includes the removal and repair of sidewalks and failed asphalt, along with sealcoating to enhance the road's durability. Residents and business owners are advised to access properties via alleys or adjacent streets due to the traffic restrictions.
