Highway 7 is the main access for a vast agricultural area north and west of Tonasket, serving many residents, ranches, and orchards.
The roadway was exhibiting signs of distress consistent with age, use, and harsh weather. Many years and layers of BST had resulted in an uneven surface with poor ride quality. The width was also substandard, with no paved shoulders.
With a new leveling course and wearing course of HMA, the contractor was able to correct many of the surface and cross slope deficiencies, resulting in a much better ride quality. The project also added 2' of paved width, providing 11' lanes and 3' shoulders. We received many thank-yous from the public for the improvements.
