Pullman Transit announced a new bus route detour starting June 15, 2026, due to construction on Northwood Drive. The Community Service Express and Wheat Route will now detour around the closure, using temporary stops at Westwood Break Room Turnaround and Cougar Ridge instead of Maple Valley and Aspen Village stops. The closure duration is undetermined, with service resuming once construction completes and the road reopens. Residents relying on these routes should plan for changes, especially during morning and evening commutes. The detour affects weekday service, with the Wheat Route also adjusting during the Farmers Market's Saturday closures on Olsen and Kamiaken Streets.
