All lanes set to open Sunday (Sept. 8)
WOODLAND – People who travel along Interstate 5 near Woodland will soon benefit from fully reopened lanes across the northbound and southbound bridges, marking the completion of the North Fork Lewis River Bridge deck repair and overlay project.
On Sunday, Sept. 8, Washington State Department of Transportation contractor, M.J. Hughes Construction will finish critical deck and structural repairs on the I-5 North Fork Lewis River Bridge ahead of schedule, allowing all three southbound lanes of travel to reopen.
Two summer seasons of bridge preservation work included deck repairs, modifying expansion joints and installation of a polyester concrete overlay along both the northbound and southbound North Fork Lewis River Bridges. These improvements provide a smoother ride, increase the durability of the bridge deck, and extend the life of the bridge for many years to come
WSDOT understands this work was especially disruptive to local road users. WSDOT officials appreciate the community’s patience while these critical repairs were made to keep this bridge open and safe for the traveling public.
