WSDOT contractor will close lanes of southbound I-5 and I-205 while they remove samples from the newly installed concrete panels along the interstates
VANCOUVER – Nighttime travelers in Vancouver who use southbound Interstates 5 and 205 should plan for delays.
On Tuesday, Jan. 10, Washington State Department of Transportation’s contractor, Granite Construction, will close lanes of southbound I-5 and I-205 while they remove samples from the newly installed concrete panels along the interstates. The samples will be tested to ensure the concrete meets WSDOT’s standards for strength and durability.
For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, travel lanes will be closed for a short period of time to remove the core sample and patch the area where the concrete was removed.
