Ridgefield Traffic Impacts

Traffic Alert

S 56th Place Closure Extended - July 10-13

S 56th Place will be closed from south of Vancouver Clinic to north of S 6th Way on Monday, July 10 through Thursday, July 13 during the day, 8AM-6PM. 

This closure has been extended from its original duration because the contractor discovered more substantial repair is needed to the underground stormwater pipe than was originally anticipated. This work requires extended time in a trench and in order to keep workers and the public safe the road must be closed during construction. We understand this closure impacts truck deliveries and have requested the contractor to move back start time to 8AM and reopen at 6PM each evening to allow for morning deliveries. The detour is clearly signed and will continue to be in place until the work is complete. 

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.

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.
