Crews will use a rolling slowdown on northbound I-5 approaching the North Fork Lewis River Bridge to install a temporary bridge deck patch
WOODLAND – Travelers who use northbound Interstate 5 near Woodland in Clark and Cowlitz Counties should plan ahead for delays and additional travel times.
On Thursday, April 13, Washington State Department of Transportation’s maintenance crews will use a rolling slowdown on northbound I-5 approaching the North Fork Lewis River Bridge to install a temporary bridge deck patch after a hole was discovered in the center travel lane.
What to expect during bridge work
- Between 9-10 a.m., Thursday, April 13, a rolling slowdown will be in place for all travel lanes on northbound I-5 at milepost 19.87, just south of Exit 21 for Woodland.
- During rolling slowdowns, travelers should expect delays. Traffic will return to normal travel speeds once vehicles pass through the work zone.
This temporary bridge deck patch will be in place until more extensive permanent work to fully rehabilitate the northbound span of the I-5 NB/SB North Fork Lewis River Bridge deck is completed in summer 2023.
As with any highway maintenance and construction project, travelers must exercise caution through the work zone. To keep both road users and road workers safe, travelers are asked to have patience, obey advanced warning signs and look for instructions from flagging and road crew personnel.
