VANCOUVER – People traveling on Interstate 205 in Vancouver and State Route 432 in Longview should plan ahead for delays and additional travel time.
Starting Monday night, Jan. 29, Washington State Department of Transportation contractor crew, Massana Construction, Inc., will use overnight ramp closures along I-205 in Vancouver and SR 432 in Longview to replace end guardrail components.
What to expect

To keep both travelers and crews safe, travelers are asked to slow down, pay attention and use caution through the work zone.
