Project Title & Location
SR 14/Camas Washougal - Add Lanes and Build Interchange
|
Project Description
Widen SR 14 to four lanes from the east end of the West Camas Slough Bridge to Union St, and construct a new split diamond interchange at Union St and 2nd St. This project will improve safety and capacity by eliminating conflicting movements and queuing at intersections, and separating traffic with median barrier.

Recent Progress
To stay within budget and retain the desired safety and mobility improvements, this project has been revised. The West Camas Slough Bridge will not be widened to four lanes, but widened enough to provide a wider shoulder and median barrier. Also a half interchange will be added at 2nd Ave. to provide safe and efficient access to Camas, Washougal and the Port.
