What’s up with those strange light poles going up around Kennewick?

Tri-City residents have noticed several large metal poles going up around Kennewick that include street lights.

One popped up recently across from Fire Station 5, at the corner of Kellogg Street and 10th Avenue. Another appeared near Highway 395 near the Benton **** building.

But what are they, and what are they being used for?

Kennewick city administrators say these are new 5G poles being installed by wireless phone carrier UScellular.

“More of these will pop up as other carriers come in,” said Rohana Carmichael, Kennewick’s economic development manager. “UScellular has a franchise agreement to utilize city (right-of-ways) for these installations.”
