RIDGEFIELD – Travelers who use southbound Interstate 5 in Clark County should expect delays.
On Thursday, Sept. 25, the Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will repair damaged guardrail along southbound I-5 near Ridgefield.
Guardrails help keep vehicles from going off the road or crossing into oncoming traffic during a crash. They also absorb some of the impact to reduce how serious the crash can be.
What to expect
- Thursday, Sept. 25: The left lane of southbound I-5, near Exit 14 for Ridgefield at milepost 14.0, will close from 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
Travelers should slow down, stay focused, and expect delays through the work zone.
