Drivers May Experience Traffic Delays And Closures During Summer Road Preservation Work In Clark County (Photo) - 04/20/26

Clark County Public Works reminds local drivers that summer is the season for road preservation projects. Several methods are used to preserve roadway surfaces and to protect the county’s transportation infrastructure. Work to apply 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 mail notifications. As roadwork dates approach, residents can expect notifications to be 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/summer-road-preservation.

Drivers should expect delays or detours and 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. The Clark County Public Works construction traffic delays webpage at clark.wa.gov/public-works/construction-traffic-delays is updated at least weekly 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. Residents can also visit clark.wa.gov/public-works to sign up for email notifications.
