The City has hired Granite Construction to remove the existing asphalt surface and repave the walkway/trail. The project will also include construction of two new ADA-compliant pedestrian curb ramps north of 6th Street at the Fort Vancouver National Historic site maintenance entrance.

During construction, the walkway/trail will be closed to pedestrians and bicyclists. Please use an alternative route during this project. Although the walkway/trail will be closed, the parking lots nearby are expected to remain open. When near the construction zone, please be alert to barricades and remain out of the way of all construction activity. Please observe physical distancing from on-site construction crews and inspectors in keeping with state and local health guidelines.
