Ridgefield Traffic Impacts

Traffic Alert

S 56th Place - June 29 & July 3 - CLOSED

S 56th Place will be closed from south of Vancouver Clinic to north of S 6th Way on Thursday, June 29 and Monday, July 3. 

Detour route around the closure is available via Pioneer, Royle, Wells Dr and Timm Rd. No business entrances are impacted. The road will be open during evenings, weekend, and on the July 4th holiday.

This closure is necessary to allow Clark Regional Wastewater District to prepare to install a new sewer main and service entrances underneath S 56th Place. This work is part of a project partnership with the City of Ridgefield, Port of Ridgefield, and Clark Regional Wastewater consisting of upgrading a sewer line, maintaining a stormwater facility, and building a new pedestrian trail.
