Nile Road at Rattlesnake Creek Bridge has been indefinitely closed due to a partial bridge failure caused by flooding on December 9, 2025. The closure affects traffic flow for residents and commuters using that route.

Tieton Reservoir Road will close between NF-1000 and NF-1203 on November 17, 2025, for a new bridge construction and fish passage work. The closure is part of ongoing infrastructure improvements in Yakima County.

The Yakima County Public Works Department manages both closures. Residents should plan alternate routes for travel. The Nile Road closure remains in effect until further notice.
