Vancouver, Wash. – The busy intersection at Northeast 78th Street and Highway 99 is scheduled to close two consecutive nights next week for paving.

The intersection is scheduled to be closed from 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 5, to 5 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6, and from 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6, to 5 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 7.

This work is weather dependent. Watch for temporary roadside signs or visit Clark County Public Works’ website, www.clark.wa.gov/public-works, for information about any schedule changes.

Drivers will need to use alternate routes during the two overnight closures. Vehicles leaving Interstate 5 at Northeast 78th Street must turn west during the closures.

Granite Construction Co., Clark County’s general contractor for the work, also will pave Highway 99, from the railroad bridge near the Bonneville Power Administration’s Ross Complex north to Northeast 78th Street.

Because of high traffic volumes, Highway 99 paving will be done over several nights, with work scheduled to begin Thursday, Sept. 7. The contractor will keep at least one lane open in each direction and maintain access to all businesses during paving.

Each night, paving this stretch of Highway 99 is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. and end before 6:30 a.m. All paving should be finished no later than the morning of Wednesday, Sept. 20.
