Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will close the left two lanes on southbound I-5 April 23-25 to fill cracks in the roadway with melted rubberized material
BATTLE GROUND – People traveling overnight along Interstate 5 near Battle Ground should plan for delays.
Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will close the left two lanes on southbound I-5 to fill cracks in the roadway with melted rubberized material.
During the harsh winter weather months, water and moisture seep into the roadway and freeze, causing cracks. This work involves sealing existing cracks with waterproof sealant to help prevent further, more extensive damage, extending the life of the roadway for many years to come.
Closure details:
- Tuesday, April 23 to Thursday, April 25: The left two lanes of southbound I-5 between milepost 15 near the Ridgefield Weigh Station and milepost 9 near Northeast 179th Street, will be closed daily from 3–6 a.m.
To keep both travelers and workers safe, people are asked to slow down, pay attention and use caution through the work zone.
