Bob Olson Parkway opens between highways 395 and 240
Motorists are now using the new Bob Olson Parkway south of Thompson Hill in Kennewick after the barricades this past weekend.
The new 5-lane road connects the Steptoe/10th Avenue roundabout to Sherman Street near Southridge High School.
City officials say the route is an important connection between highways 395 and 240.
An official ribbon cutting is planned for October.
