Drivers who use 32nd Street to reach state Highway 14 in Washougal should expect delays and plan to use alternate routes in the coming weeks due to construction of two roundabouts.
Thompson Bros. Excavating, a Vancouver contractor working for the Washington State Department of Transportation, will close sections of 32nd Street over two weekends. Crews will remove traffic islands within the intersection with Highway 14 and install casing for a future city waterline and fiber conduit.
The contractor will close 32nd Street south of the highway from 10 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. the following Monday (June 10). Drivers will not be able to turn left onto Highway 14 from either direction on 32nd Street, with one exception. Freight traffic will be flagged from 32nd Street north of Highway 14 through the intersection onto the highway eastbound.
Beginning at 10 p.m. June 14 until 5 a.m. June 17, construction crews will close 32nd Street north of Highway 14 up to Addy Street. Drivers will not be able to turn left onto the highway from either direction on 32nd Street, except freight traffic that will be flagged from 32nd Street south of Highway 14 through the intersection onto the highway westbound.
