WENATCHEE – The public is invited to attend a virtual event to learn more about the US 2/97 and Easy Street intersection roundabout project in Wenatchee.
In 2022, the Washington State Department of Transportation will build a multi-lane roundabout at this intersection which is currently controlled by a traffic signal. The new roundabout will improve mobility by reducing traffic backups and allowing a continual flow of traffic. Roundabouts reduce intersection conflict points that lead to head-on and T-bone collisions, and lessen the severity of collisions when they do occur.
Other improvements planned for this project include:
- Transit pull-out lanes.
- Shorter crosswalks along US 2/97 with rapid flashing beacons.
- An additional crossing at the south side of the Easy Street intersection, with a connection to the Apple Capital Loop Trail.
US 2 Easy Street roundabout virtual public event:

4 to 6 p.m., Wednesday, April 28
