Expect SR 17 delays during roadwork from Moses Lake to Othello

Roundabout at Cunningham Road and SR 17 completed; designed to slow traffic at dangerous intersection

OTHELLO — If you are driving south or north on SR 17 between Moses Lake and Othello, then expect delays as pavement sealing work is underway, creating delays between milepost 27 south of Moses Lake and milepost 44 south of Othello. The backup at about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday lasted about 20 minutes, according to Othello City Engineer and Public Works Director Robin Adolphsen, and there is no convenient alternative route to circumvent the roadwork.
