Continuing through Friday, there will be nighttime lane and ramp closures for paving along the off- and on-ramps and the highway between I-205 and SE 164th Ave.
VANCOUVER – People traveling on State Route 14 in Vancouver between Interstate 205 and Southeast 164th Avenue should expect nighttime delays for paving.
Continuing through Friday (June 28), the Washington State Department of Transportation’s contractor, Rotschy, Inc., will have intermittent nighttime lane and ramp closures for paving along the off- and on-ramps and the highway between I-205 and SE 164th Avenue as part of the SR 14 widening project.
What travelers need to know
- Between 7:30 p.m. and 5 a.m., intermittent single lane closures in both directions of SR 14 between the I-205 and SE 164th Avenue interchanges.
- Between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m., the on-ramp from SE 164th Avenue to westbound SR 14 and the off-ramps from westbound SR 14 to I-205 will close when the ramps are paved.
- During the ramp closures, travelers will need to use an alternate route.
Following the completion of paving work, the pavement will need about 14 days to cure. Once cured crews will stripe the final lane configurations in both directions of the highway and install guardrail.
Once the project is complete, SR 14 will have three travel lanes in each direction between Southeast 164th Avenue and I-205. This 2.5-mile stretch often experiences congestion during peak travel times due to frequent lane changes and merges near the interchange.
Additionally, the project will add a part-time shoulder lane on westbound SR 14. During peak travel times when traffic is congested, the shoulder will open up as a fourth travel lane for travelers heading to northbound I-205.
This project is expected to wrap up by fall 2024.
