Vancouver, WA – A contractor will replace the culvert carrying Gee Creek under Carty Road, just east of Northwest Ecklund Road.

The project also includes repaving more than two miles of road south of Ridgefield and installing or upgrading guardrails.

The road, from Northwest Hillhurst Road east to Northeast 10th Avenue, will be open only to residents and businesses from mid-June through September.

A 1,200-foot section will be closed to all traffic during culvert replacement. Detour signs will help guide drivers around the temporary road closure.

The existing culvert has partially collapsed in several locations. Portions of the embankment have sloughed off toward Gee Creek.

Clark County awarded a $1.59 million contract to Thompson Bros. Excavating, a Vancouver-based contractor, to build this project. Federal and state grants are expected to cover most construction costs.

Additional information, including a detour map, is posted on the county’s website, www.clark.wa.gov/sites/all/files/public-works/CartyRoadMailer.pdf.
