RICHLAND, Wash. – The City of Richland started restoration and repair work on a section of Richland’ Riverfront Trail on Thursday, according to Richland Parks and Recreation.

The section is one of two sections that are scheduled for maintenance in the month of May.

A section of the WSU Tri-Cities North Richland Riverfront Trail near Sprout Street and behind the WSU Tri-Cities campus is being restored and repaved as of Thu., May 2. Last fall, the path was damaged by a wash out.

A detour that is pedestrian-friendly and a separate bike route are in place.

The Hains Street Levee Riverfront Trail will also see a detour starting May 13, as the City will remove asphalt, trees and roots and repave the trail. The half-mile section near Hains Street from Porters Real Barbecue to River Road will be closed for three to four weeks.

More information on the closures and detours can be found on the City’s website.
