The project to repave the Moscow-Pullman Highway has been delayed due to issues with the contractor.
The work to repave State Route 270 was scheduled to begin last week. The contractor’s asphalt didn’t meet state specifications and the work was halted. The paving company has resubmitted its design to the Washington State Department of Transportation. WSDOT Spokesman Ryan Overton says once the new plan is approved the paving will restart.
