Vancouver, Wash. – Regular drivers along the intersection of Northeast 99th Street and Highway 99 can expect intermittent lane closures, beginning Monday, Aug. 3.
Due to high traffic volumes and the complexity of the contracted work, drivers and pedestrians can expect the following impacts during construction:
Clark County Public Works’ contractor, Nutter Corporation of Vancouver, Wash., will widen lanes on this heavily traveled corridor, allowing drivers to more easily navigate turning movements. This work also includes filling in gaps in the existing bicycle lanes on Highway 99 and building a bicycle lane on Northeast 99th Street, from Highway 99 west to Northeast 13th Avenue. The combination of heavy traffic, a skewed intersection, narrow lanes and tight turning radius has created congestion problems and safety concerns.
All contracted work is expected to be complete in Nov. 2020.
