Tucannon road is a thoroughfare for agriculture as well as lands owned and managed by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. It serves managed campgrounds, a fish hatchery as well as Wooten Environmental Learning Center. The last 15 miles of the road are within the Tucannon-Wenaha Wilderness Area. The whole area is very popular for year round camping, hunting and fishing.
Deficiencies were reported in road width and horizontal curves as well as bridge guardrails and bridge paving, in addition to deficient culverts.
Reconstruction of this 2.5 mile stretch of road consisted of the realignment of 2 deficient curves, widening the narrow 1946 road, cement recycled asphalt base, hot mix asphalt, replacement of an undersized large culvert with a new NBIS bridge. 3 bridges received deck repair and bridge rail retrofit with approach guardrail. Additional improvements included culvert construction, underground irrigation crossings, signs, striping, erosion control, and right of way fencing. The public has been much pleased with how this project has turned out.
