Travel Advisory: Expect delays on northbound I-5 near Ridgefield

On Monday, WSDOT contractor crews started to remove and replace traffic barriers on the northbound I-5 off-ramp to Exit 14 for Pioneer Street

RIDGEFIELD – Travelers who use northbound Interstate 5 near Ridgefield should expect daytime and nighttime delays and plan for additional travel time. 

Starting Monday (April 14), Washington State Department of Transportation contractor crews started to remove and replace traffic barriers on the northbound I-5 off-ramp to Exit 14 for Pioneer Street. This will create a protected work zone as crews improve the off-ramp. Once the new barrier is in place, crews will move a light pole and shift the concrete to extend the right-turn lane. This work supports future commercial development in the area. 

What to expect 

• 8:30 p.m., Monday, April 14 to 4:30 a.m., Tuesday, April 15: The right lane along the off-ramp from northbound I-5 to Exit 14 for Pioneer Street will close overnight.
• Tuesday, April 15 to Thursday, April 24: Part of the northbound I-5 Exit 14 off-ramp to Pioneer Street will be closed at all times due to the concrete barrier blocking the beginning of the right-turn lane. Crews will work behind the barrier each day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesdays through Fridays.
• Note: Travelers will still be able to turn left or right onto Pioneer Street after passing through the work zone. 

For everyone’s safety, please slow down and stay focused when traveling through the work zone.
