Greenway Pathway Section Closed for Repaving Through Early October

Yakima Pasco Richland Kennewick, WA, September 23, 2026 —

A segment of the popular Greenway Pathway, a trail network serving the Yakima-Pasco-Richland-Kennewick region, is currently closed to the public. The closure is in effect to facilitate essential repaving work along a specific section of the pathway.

The duration of the closure is slated to extend until early October. During this period, trail users will be unable to access the affected portion of the Greenway Pathway. Officials have not specified the exact start date of the closure or the precise location of the repaving work within the broader area.

Repaving is a standard maintenance activity aimed at improving the surface condition of recreational paths. This process typically involves removing the existing pavement, preparing the base, and laying down new asphalt or other suitable materials. The goal is to ensure a smoother, safer, and more durable surface for walkers, runners, cyclists, and other users of the pathway.

The Greenway Pathway system is a significant recreational asset in the Tri-Cities area, offering scenic routes alongside the Columbia River. Its closure, even for a specific section, may impact regular users who rely on it for exercise or leisure. The exact extent of the inconvenience will depend on the length of the closed segment and its connectivity to other parts of the trail system.

Further details regarding the specific stretch of the pathway that is closed and any potential detours for users are expected to be released by the relevant authorities managing the Greenway. As of the latest information, the closure is anticipated to conclude in early October, at which point the repaved section is expected to reopen to the public.
