WSDOT maintenance crews will repair and replace traffic sensors along southbound I-205 in Vancouver
VANCOUVER – Travelers who use southbound Interstate 205 in Clark County should plan for lane closures and delays.
On Tuesday, Oct. 14, the Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will repair and replace traffic sensors along southbound I-205 in Vancouver.
Traffic sensors are devices installed in the travel lanes that count vehicles, track speeds, measure vehicle sizes, and show when traffic is busiest. This information helps plan future road repairs and improvements to keep travelers safe and traffic moving.
What to expect
- From 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14 to 4 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15: The right lane of southbound I-205 will close overnight between Fourth Plain Boulevard (milepost 31.0) and Burton Road (milepost 29.8).
Travelers should slow down, stay focused and follow directional signs through the work zone. This work is weather dependent and may be rescheduled.
