Beginning Monday, July 28, the Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will remove brush and clear danger trees alongside I-205 in Vancouver
CLARK – Travelers who use Interstate 205 in Clark County should expect delays.
Beginning Monday, July 28, the Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will remove brush and clear danger trees alongside I-205 in Vancouver. This work improves visibility, lowers the risk of fires, and keeps plants from growing onto the road.
What to expect
Monday, July 28 and Tuesday, July 29:
- The on-ramp from Northeast Padden Parkway to northbound I-205 (milepost 33) will close each day from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Travelers wanting to get onto northbound I-205 will need to use a different route.
For everyone’s safety, please slow down, stay focused and expect delays when traveling through the work zone.

Ramps for I-205 access from Mill Plain Blvd will be closed from 8 PM till 5 AM, 27th, 28th, & 29th, for the same purposes. The entire intersection is going to get a major facelift, with the added advantage of eliminating places for local vagrants to hide out and completely trash. Potential sources of fuel for “warming fires” are being removed as well.
Big time fire risk reduction overall. WSDOT should be able to maintain these intersections with a brush hog from now on.
