WALLA WALLA – Sumach Street from Fourth Avenue to Sixth Avenue will be closed beginning tomorrow (Tuesday) through mid-October for roadway and utility improvements as well as accessibility enhancements.
There will be minor impacts at Fourth Avenue intersections with Oak Street and Cherry Street, primarily affecting pedestrian traffic starting tomorrow (Tuesday) through mid-August.
Parking on Sumach Street between Fourth Avenue and Sixth Avenue will be restricted throughout construction.

Additional on-street parking is available on Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth avenues off Sumach Street.
The total project cost at this time is $1,300,000. This project is funded primarily by water and sewer rates associated with the Infrastructure Repair and Replacement Program.
