Closure Coming Later in the Month to Sunburst Lane

Beginning September 16th, Chelan County’s contractor on the West Cashmere Bridge replacement project will start construction on a large pier on the project’s north side, or on the Hay Canyon side.

According to Chelan County Public Works, the work will impact Sunburst Lane through September 30th. During that time, the east end of Sunburst Lane will be closed so the contractor is able to use a crane. The construction crew will be drilling three shafts for the pier that will support the Hay Canyon entrance/exit to the new West Cashmere Bridge.

With the road closure, a temporary, graveled detour will be in place. Motorists should use caution when using the detour route and keep speeds at 10 mph for the safety of workers.

The new West Cashmere Bridge is scheduled to open in late 2021.
