On Tuesday, WSDOT maintenance crews will repair and replace damaged guardrail along southbound I-205 just south of the Northeast 18th Street overpass in Vancouver
VANCOUVER – Travelers who use southbound Interstate 205 in Clark County should plan for delays.
On Tuesday (Jan. 13), the Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will repair and replace damaged guardrail along southbound I-205 just south of the Northeast 18th Street overpass in Vancouver.
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 the severity of the crash.
What to expect
- Tuesday, Jan. 13: The left lane of southbound I-205 near the Northeast 18th Street overpass (milepost 28.9), will close from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., for guardrail repairs.
- During the closure travelers will use the right and center lanes.
Travelers should slow down, stay focused, and expect delays through the work zone.
