Currently, traffic on Northeast 119th Street is controlled by stop signs at the intersection with Northeast 152nd Avenue
VANCOUVER – Construction is beginning to convert the intersection of Northeast 119th Street and Northeast 152nd Avenue to a single-lane roundabout. Currently, traffic on Northeast 119th Street is controlled by stop signs at the intersection with Northeast 152nd Avenue.
The intersection has been the site of several severe crashes in the last 10 years, resulting in multiple serious injuries and two fatalities. Due to the number and severity of crashes, the intersection was identified as a high priority for reconstruction to minimize crash risk and severity. Changing the intersection to a roundabout will require all vehicles to slow and will also reduce the risk of head-on and T-bone (side-impact) collisions.
Preconstruction activities have begun at the project site. The intersection will be closed to through traffic in July and August for construction of the roundabout. During the closure, local access to neighboring properties will be maintained. Through traffic will be directed onto a signed detour route. Construction of the roundabout is scheduled to be complete by the end of August. At that time, the intersection will reopen to through traffic. Additional paving, striping and installation of permanent signage, guardrail and lighting is anticipated to be complete by October.
Construction is weather dependent and this schedule is subject to change. Schedule updates, detour maps and additional information can be found on the project webpage at clark.wa.gov/public-works/ne-119th-st-and-ne-152nd-ave.
