VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Works in late August will begin reconstructing the intersection of Northeast 179th Street and Northeast 50th Avenue. The addition of a left-turn lane on the East and West legs of the intersection will serve as an interim project until such time as a roundabout is warranted at this intersection to handle increased traffic associated with residential and commercial development. With anticipated growth in the area over the next 20 years, these upgrades aim to accommodate future traffic volumes while ensuring safety and mobility.

Travelers in the area can expect occasional lane closures, traffic impacts, and delays. Construction is weather dependent, but the project is anticipated to be complete by the end of November. Schedule updates and additional information is available at clark.wa.gov/public-works/northeast-179th-street-and-northeast-50th-avenue-intersection-improvements.

For information about road and park projects, closures, opportunities for community input, and more, residents can follow Public Works on X (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook and Instagram and view information on Nextdoor.
