WSDOT contractor will close lanes of southbound I-5 and I-205 while they remove samples from the newly installed concrete panels along the interstates
VANCOUVER – Nighttime travelers in Vancouver who use southbound Interstates 5 and 205 should plan for delays.
On Tuesday, Jan. 10, Washington State Department of Transportation’s contractor, Granite Construction, will close lanes of southbound I-5 and I-205 while they remove samples from the newly installed concrete panels along the interstates. The samples will be tested to ensure the concrete meets WSDOT’s standards for strength and durability.
For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, travel lanes will be closed for a short period of time to remove the core sample and patch the area where the concrete was removed.
Southbound I-5 lane closures
- 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 10 to 5:30 a.m., Jan. 11
- Up to two lanes of southbound I-5 will close intermittently between Northeast 179th Street and Northeast 139th Street.
Southbound I-205 lane closures
- 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 10 to 5:30 a.m., Jan. 11
- A single lane of southbound I-205 will close near the Padden Parkway overpass.
Additional concrete testing is needed and will require overnight closures which will be scheduled at a later date.
