Highway 24 intersection to close for irrigation work

OTHELLO -- The state Department of Transportation is closing the state Highway 24-Bench Road intersection this weekend for irrigation upgrades.

The closure will begin at 7 p.m. Friday, officials said, noting it is expected to reopen no later than Monday.

The closure will be around-the-clock until work is completed, officials said.

During the closure, a contractor will be working on an irrigation line passing under the intersection, officials said, noting the length of the closure depends on what work crews find.
