Posted 12/6: Clark County Public Works has closed bridge #275, which carries Northeast 112th Avenue over Salmon Creek in Brush Prairie. High water is impacting the bridge. We do not have an estimated timeline for reopening as we cannot inspect the bridge’s condition until water levels sufficiently recede. No alternate route is available for this bridge, since it is located on a dead end.

Clark County Public Works invites the community to celebrate the opening of a new section of Northeast 99th Street at a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 15. Attendees should park along Northeast 99th Street, west of Northeast 94th Avenue. Light refreshments will be provided. Councilor Michelle Belkot will cut the ribbon to officially open the road.

Dec. 12: all trails have reopened.

Original post:

Portions of Lacamas Regional Park near Round Lake dam are closed, including the trail that crosses the dam. Residents are reminded to never enter closed areas. The dam and portions of the park are managed by the city of Camas. Public Works collaborates with the city on closures to protect park infrastructure and visitor safety. We do not have a timeline for reopening, as it is dependent on when and how quickly water levels recede.

The Clark County Council is seeking a volunteer to serve on the county’s Planning Commission. The position is for an unfilled term that begins immediately and ends Dec. 31, 2025.

The Planning Commission is a seven-member committee that makes recommendations to the council on land-use planning, zoning and development in unincorporated Clark County. The commission also makes recommendations on issues such as growth management, roads, public facilities, development regulations and applicable county ordinances.

Clark County Public Works has closed bridge #299, which carries Northeast CC Landon Road over Yacolt Creek in Yacolt. High water is impacting the approach to the bridge.

Drivers should use Northeast Parcel Avenue and Northeast Railroad Avenue to detour around the closure. A map of the detour route can be found at https://clark.wa.gov/media/document/91161.
