The City of Richland is advising drivers of a change to the Horn Rapids Road closure and detour associated with the North Horn Rapids Sewer Extension Project.

Horn Rapids Road Between Stevens Drive and Framatome Will Be Closed

Beginning mid-morning Monday, August 10, the contractor will shift the current traffic routing on Horn Rapids Road. The mid-morning transition will allow Framatome employees arriving for the morning shift to use the existing route. Employees leaving later that day will need to use the new route via Kingsgate Way, which will also be the access route beginning Tuesday morning.
