Phase 1 of NW Natural’s pipe system project from Bingen to White Salmon is underway. The first series of road closures that will run through August 10 includes the closure of one lane of Ash Street between West Humboldt and Oak. Flaggers will direct traffic. The cross streets of Franklin, West Humboldt, and Jefferson are closed between Alder and Oak, with the roads open to local traffic only. Construction with flaggers directing traffic is anticipated between the hours of 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays.
