Road preservation includes several different methods to preserve roads and to protect the county’s transportation infrastructure
VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Works reminds local drivers that summer is the season for road preservation projects. Road preservation includes several different methods to preserve roads and to protect the county’s transportation infrastructure. Work to apply cape seal, slurry seal, chip seal and hot mix asphalt can cause traffic delays and road closures.
Residents living on or near roads receiving treatment this summer have begun receiving notifications via mail. Closer to treatment application dates, residents can expect notifications delivered to their door. Businesses and residents along collector and arterial roadways have also been notified of upcoming hot mix asphalt work, which may cause delays on some of the county’s more well-traveled roads.
Residents can view interactive maps of project locations on our website at [clark.wa.gov/public-works/hma]clark.wa.gov/public-works/hma and clark.wa.gov/public-works/summer-road-preservation.
While out on the roads this summer, drivers should remember that it is road construction season and expect delays or detours. Drivers are encouraged to check their routes before traveling. Mapping and navigation apps don’t typically show drivers information about temporary road closures or work zone delays, so drivers should check agency websites. Our construction traffic delays webpage at clark.wa.gov/public-works/construction-traffic-delays is updated at least once per week with information about road work in unincorporated Clark County. It also has links to construction and traffic delay information for the City of Vancouver and the Washington State Department of Transportation.
For information about road and park projects, closures, opportunities for community input, and more, residents can follow Public Works on X (formerly known as Twitter), Facebook and Instagram and view information on Nextdoor.
