Send us your feedback on this project.

 

Clark County
This project is located six miles north of Vancouver on SR 502 from I-5 (179th Street Exit) to the western city limits of Battle Ground. We replaced severely cracked pavement, paved approximately six miles, and raised the guardrail.  This work extends the life of the roadway and gives drivers a smoother ride.

Construction Summary

The project was a standard paver built to the original design.  Despite some minor traffic impact challenges surrounding this project, including an adjacent Clark County road improvement project and multiple concerts at the nearby amphitheater, construction went very smoothly with relatively minor impacts to local motorists on this busy highway.

 

The communication between the contractor and the WSDOT was excellent. Both parties were committed to constructing a quality project and working together toward that end.

 

The project was completed in 24 working days, which was one day ahead of schedule.

 

The final contractor payment, $863,534, is five percent below the contractor’s bid amount.  A reduction in the amount of full depth pavement dig-outs accounted for the majority of the difference between the award and completed dollar amounts.
