Pasco Wa Real Estate ~ Reconstruction of Road 170
Although there does not appear to be agreement across all groups of people who live on Road 170 in Pasco Wa Real Estate and who were affected by the spring landslide, the preference looks likely to be to rebuild the road.
Almost 40 concerned residents congregated to hear the presentations from county and firms collaborating in the design of the new road. Following the landslide on the 13th of May, 2006, one family was left displaced and up to 2, 000 farms were without water. Road 170 is northeast of the popular shopping complex on Pasco’s Road 68.

Federal funding has been assured to complete the design of the proposed reconstruction. However, a separate grant application is required for federal funding of the actual construction when the plans are finalized. Pasco Wa Real Estate region officials, and those of other affected areas anticipate that construction will begin in 2008, at the cost of around $5 million; bearing in mind that this plan is dependant on the gaining of rights-of-way from the relevant property owners.
It seems likely that the road will be rebuilt at the foot of the mountain. County geologists have recommended that the road be rebuilt away from the unstable bluffs that were the reason for the landslide in the first place.
