Work to repair a sewer line will require a full road closure on NW 124th Street between NW 33rd Avenue and NW 36th avenues from May 23-24th. Flaggers and detour signs will be in place to direct motorists while project work is underway.
NE 25th Avenue at 94th Street
Clark Regional Wastewater District will be conducting repairs in a coordinative effort with the Clark County Surface Treatment program at NE 25th Avenue near 94th Street. Single lane closures will likely result in minor delays to motorists. Project work is anticipated to take two works to complete.
NE 87th Avenue – Utility Work
Clark Public Utilities will begin work on a water main project along the east side of NE 87th Avenue from just south of 119th Street to 115th Street. Periodic single lane closures will be required and may cause minor delays to motorists. Project work is anticipated to last two to three weeks.
Crown Road

Cascade Park Project: Streets near and along SE McGillivray Boulevard, between SE 118th Court to about SE 125th Avenue
The sanitary sewer and stormwater improvements have been completed for the Cascade Park Project. A Sewer Connection Incentive Program (SCIP) project, work included installation of about 9,000 feet of sanitary sewer main line, as well as 50 feet of storm main. The last part of this project will include new asphalt surfacing and is highly weather dependent. Drivers should be alert to possible lane closures, flaggers, workers and equipment in the roadway. Final grinding and paving will occur this summer.
Wiegel Avenue Water Project: West 27th and 28th Streets, Yeoman, Xavier and Unander Avenues
Construction of water main improvements is underway in the Fruit Valley Neighborhood. The City of Vancouver has contracted with Tapani Underground to replace aging, substandard water mains with approximately 6,800 feet of new 8-inch ductile iron water mains and 300 feet of new 6-inch ductile iron water mains. After water line installation and testing is complete, streets impacted by the work and Weigel Avenue will be resurfaced with a new layer of asphalt pavement from edge to edge. Construction hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with the potential for work until 8 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays as needed. During construction, streets affected by the work will be closed to all but local traffic. The project is targeted for completion in early July 2012.
Intersections Improvement Project: SE 164th Avenue, from SE 34th Street to SE Mill Plain Boulevard
Construction began Monday, May 14, on intersection improvements along the Southeast 164th Avenue corridor. In general, the contractor expects to work from the south, to the north, but there will be times when the construction effort moves throughout the corridor to take advantage of work efficiencies. Access will continue to be open to all businesses and residents in the project area. The city asks drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians to slow down in the construction zone and be alert to traffic changes and construction workers and equipment. The intersections project is expected to be substantially complete by about mid-August, with an asphalt overlay project occurring in the early fall.
Wind Tower Travel: West Mill Plain Boulevard and Washington Street
Motorists in downtown Vancouver are advised to be mindful of oversized wind tower components periodically traveling on city streets from the Port of Vancouver to wind farm projects in the Columbia River Gorge. During the weekend and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, wind tower components are permitted to travel along West Mill Plain Boulevard to Washington Street, where they turn south to continue onto SR-14.
Waterfront Access Project
On May 4, Arnold Way, formerly West Fourth Street, between Columbia and Esther streets was closed to through traffic. The West Sixth/Seventh Street connector has been closed to traffic west of Grant Street and east of Jefferson Street since 2011. This closure was extended to include the Grant/Sixth intersection. Both streets will be closed until the end of 2013. This is all part of the Vancouver Waterfront Access Project to reconnect the community's downtown area with the Columbia River waterfront. During this phrase of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Project, Nutter Construction is reconstructing the main rail line from Columbia Street to Jefferson Street, including bridge structures at Esther and Grant streets. After a seventh month schedule interruption, the railway work resumes. Total project involves road, rail and utility improvements, including reconstruction of the BNSF railway berm in downtown Vancouver and extension of Esther and Grant streets under the rail line. Additional temporary closures and traffic changes can be expected as work progresses. Closures will be posted and notice will be provided in advance. www.cityofvancouver.us/WaterfrontAccess
