Exploring the Grand Coulee Highway
Have you ever traveled along the Grand Coulee Highway? This new and modern highway stretches along the east shore of the Grand Coulee reservoir, offering stunning views and a glimpse into the future of irrigation in the area.
Stretching 27 miles north from Coulee City, this highway is a key part of a massive project to irrigate 1,200,000 acres of land. The waters pumped from Lake Roosevelt will be stored here, providing much-needed irrigation for the region.
