Maybe the government was right this time. On the same week that a state report listed Vancouver as one of the worst spots for traffic, the morning commute was at a standstill today.
Traffic on Interstate 5 southbound was stop-and-go beyond Northeast 73rd Street through 8:30 a.m. That in turn slowed westbound traffic on Highway 500 and Highway 14.
Interstate 205 was an unappealing alternative, with heavy traffic slowing throughout the entire Clark County stretch of the highway.
A wreck on northbound I-5 on Portland’s Marquam Bridge had the unusual effect of slowing traffic into Clark County from Oregon.
