S. Kentucky Ave. in East Wenatchee to Close for Several Weeks

A key thoroughfare in East Wenatchee will soon be temporarily off-limits.

According to Douglas County officials, South Kentucky Ave. will close at 7 a.m. Monday for the installation of steel casings under the canal. This is a crucial preparatory step for upcoming utility projects by the East Wenatchee Water District and Douglas County Sewer District.

A full road closure, including the canal bridge, will be in effect. Only locals will have access to the following stretches: SE 6th St. to S Lawler Ave. and SE Flora St. to SE 8th St.
