VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Works summer road preservation has begun.
As part of this work, there will be two single-day road closures on Aug. 1 and Aug. 5.
Northeast 182nd Avenue/Northeast Ward Road between Northeast 172nd Avenue and Northeast 159th Avenue will be closed on Thursday, Aug. 1. Drivers are advised to take Northeast 172nd Avenue.
Northeast 172nd Avenue between Northeast 99th Street and Northeast 159th Street will be closed on Monday, Aug. 5. Drivers are advised to take Northeast 182nd Avenue/Northeast Ward Road.
Drivers should choose an alternate route during the closure and adhere to posted detour signage while in the project area. A signed detour will be in place during construction.

During the closure, local access will be accommodated for residents within the closure area and for emergency vehicles.
