WSDOT maintenance crews will repair damaged guardrail along the eastbound off-ramp from SR 500 to St. Johns Boulevard, in Vancouver
VANCOUVER – Travelers who use eastbound State Route 500 in Clark County should plan for overnight delays.
On Thursday, Oct. 16, the Washington State Department of Transportation maintenance crews will repair damaged guardrail along the eastbound off-ramp from SR 500 to St Johns Boulevard, 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 how serious the crash can be.
What to expect
- From 10 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 16 to 5 a.m., Friday, Oct. 17: The off-ramp from eastbound SR 500 to St Johns Boulevard will close overnight for guardrail repairs.
- During the off-ramp closure travelers will need to use an alternate route.
Travelers should slow down, stay focused, and expect delays through the work zone.
