Poe Asphalt will begin paving Wawawai Road

Paving is scheduled to begin next week on the Wawawai-Pullman Road along Union Flat Creek.

Whitman County Public Works Director Mark Storey said paving is scheduled to begin next Wednesday on about seven miles of the road from its intersection with State Route 194 to the top of Wawawai Canyon at Smith Road.

Poe Asphalt of Pullman earlier was awarded the repaving job on two contracts totaling $1,210,300. The project was split into two bid segments to ease county compliance with federal funding requirements.
