Reconstruction of the intersection is scheduled to begin in late August and is expected to take approximately two years to complete
VANCOUVER – Clark County Public Works is reconstructing the intersection of Northeast 179th Street and Northeast 29th Avenue. The existing single-lane, all-way stop-sign-controlled intersection will be replaced with a roundabout. This change is necessary to accommodate increasing traffic volumes associated with residential and commercial development in the area.
Reconstruction of the intersection is scheduled to begin in late August and is expected to take approximately two years to complete. During construction, closure of the “legs” of the intersection, i.e., each roadway connecting to the intersection, will happen in stages. Public Works is currently conducting the final review and approval of the contractor’s closure and construction staging plans. When the plans have been approved, closure dates and detour information will be shared on the project webpage and via a mailer to properties within the project area and near the detour route. Construction closures are expected to begin in late August.
Residents are invited to an informational community meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 12, to learn more. At the meeting, staff will share available information about the project’s staging, timeline, closures and detour routes, and answer questions. The meeting will be hosted at Vancouver iTech Preparatory at 16100 NE 50th Ave. The presentation and Q&A session will also be streamed online via Webex, beginning at 6:30 p.m. A meeting link will be posted on the project webpage.
