Construction will continue this week at NE 119th Street and NE 72nd Avenue as the project nears completion. 

Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes to avoid the construction area. A map showing these routes is available at www.clark.wa.gov/public-works/ne-119th-street.

A reduced speed limit of 25 mph will remain in effect in the vicinity of NE 72nd Avenue and NE 119th Street, with fines doubled in the construction zone. Access to all businesses will remain open during construction.

NE 78th Street, west of NE 25th Avenue
​A private contractor is installing sanitary sewer and water lines to a private development. The contractor will periodically have single-lane closures on NE 78th Street during construction. All lanes will be open at night. Work will continue through the end of September.

Carty Road, NW Hillhurst Road to NE 10th Avenue
A contractor has replaced the culvert carrying Gee Creek under the road just east of Northwest Ecklund Road. The road has reopened, but drivers should expect short delays during guardrail installation and other final work. Please follow the directions of flaggers at all times.

NE Etna Road – Cedar Creek Bridge replacement
A short section of NE Etna Road, at mile post 3.8, will be closed through December 2016. The closure is necessary so a contractor can demolish Cedar Creek Bridge (County Bridge No. 65), which was built in 1946, and replace it with a new bridge. Detour signs will help guide drivers around the temporary road closure. More information, including a detour map, is available at: www.clark.wa.gov/public-works/cedar-creek-bridge-replacement.

NE 58th Street sidewalk construction, NE 59th Avenue to NE Andresen Road​
​NE 58th Street will have single-lane closures through the work zone. Please follow the construction signing and flaggers at all times.

Highway 99 – NE 63rd Street to NE 78th Street

City of Vancouver - (360) 487-7750

Street resurfacing and pavement preservation - various locations
During July, August and September, Vancouver residents will see work on several major streets, as well as some neighborhood streets east of Interstate 205. All preservation work is weather dependent. Within construction zones, drivers should be prepared for delays, watch for traffic changes, proceed slowly and be alert to construction workers, cyclists, pedestrians and other drivers.

Microsurfacing, slurry seal, chip seal and cape seal treatments
Work started in early July with slurry sealing in the Fisher’s Landing East and Columbia River neighborhoods. Pavement preservation work will focus on areas east of Interstate 205, and will also take place in or near the following neighborhoods: Burnt Bridge Creek, Landover-Sharmel, North Hearthwood, Fircrest, Lewis and Clark Woods, Bella Vista, Cascade Southeast, Fairway-164th Ave, Cascade Highlands, Bennington, Village at Fisher’s Landing and Fisher’s Creek.

Resurfacing
Asphalt overlay resurfacing began in early July and paving is completed. Work is now primarily focused on restoring lane striping and other pavement markings. Most of this work is taking place at night to reduce impact to traffic. During construction, drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians are asked to be prepared for delays, watch for traffic or lane changes, proceed slowly and be alert to workers and equipment in the roadway. Restriping, like paving and preservation work, is highly weather dependent, and schedules are subject to changes as a result.

Please see the following website and click on either ‘Overlay Paving’ or ‘Preventive Surface Treatments’ for project map and a complete list of streets. www.cityofvancouver.us/pavement.

Disabled-accessible curb ramp construction – SE Park Crest Avenue
Final paving has been completed in the Cascade Highlands Neighborhood for multiple curb ramps along Southeast Park Crest Avenue that will comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines. New ADA ramp locations include SE Meadow Park Drive, SE Greenpark Street and SE McGillivray Boulevard. Pavement striping and street markings will be installed in a couple weeks after the pavement has cured. Watch for single lane closures and delays. Working hours are generally from 7 a.m. to about 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Please note that much of this work is highly dependent on favorable weather conditions, and schedules may change.

Middle Way Neighborhood Traffic Safety Project
Construction was completed on two speed cushions along Southeast Middle Way, from South Lieser Road to Columbia Ridge Drive. Fogline stripes will also be added to the edge of Middle Way, along with additional signage and striping elements after the newly installed cushions have cured. Working hours are typically 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Please note that much of this work is highly dependent on favorable weather conditions, and schedules may change.

Sidewalk construction – Northeast 82nd Avenue
The City of Vancouver has contracted with Tapani Underground, Inc. of Battle Ground, Washington, to construct a short stretch of sidewalk along the east side of Northeast 82nd Avenue, from the existing sidewalk just north of the Avenues apartment complex to just south of Northeast 58th Street where it will tie into the existing sidewalk. This work will include stormwater drainage improvements, installing bike lanes, planting new street trees and construction of pervious sidewalk to finish this segment. Construction is substantially finished, with final striping and landscaping scheduled for September. Drivers are asked to stay alert to construction work in this area. More details can be found here: www.cityofvancouver.us/VanMallAreaStreetProjects.

Street extension and improvements – Northeast Vancouver Mall Drive
The City of Vancouver has contracted with Tapani Underground, Inc. of Battle Ground, Washington, to improve Northeast Vancouver Mall Drive, from Northeast 72nd Avenue to Northeast 66th Avenue. Work will include widening the road to add a dedicated right-turn lane westbound onto Northeast Andresen Road, extending the roadway west of Northeast Andresen Road with a new street section that connects into Northeast 66th Avenue, improving the signal system at the Northeast Andresen Road intersection, constructing a new C-TRAN bus pullout near the intersection along Andresen Road and installing ADA compliant sidewalk and curb ramps between Northeast 72nd and Northeast Andresen Road. Construction is anticipated to be completed later this year, pending delivery and installation of all signal equipment. Please be alert to construction work and be prepared for lane closures and possible travel delays. More details can be found here: www.cityofvancouver.us/VanMallAreaStreetProjects.

Traffic signal improvements – East Mill Plain Boulevard and North Garrison Road
In early June, City contractor Mill Plain Electric started work at the intersection of East Mill Plain Boulevard and North Garrison Road to improve the current traffic signal from a span wire system to a standard pole and mast arm system. The new signal expected to be fully operational in September. Work hours are typically from 7a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, but could be later if needed. Please proceed slowly in construction zones, stay alert to work activity and watch for lane closures.
