VANCOUVER – After mailing your tax return on Wednesday, April 15, join the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) for an open house and formal access hearing on the SR 14 Camas-Washougal Widening and Interchange project.
The open house begins at 4 p.m. at the WSDOT Southwest Region office, 11018 NE 51st Circle, Vancouver, in Conference Room 102.
The access hearing begins at 6 p.m. Testimony will be documented and must be related to property access issues. Attendees will have an opportunity to speak with WSDOT staff about other project-related issues before and after the access hearing.
When complete, the SR 14 Camas-Washougal Widening and Interchange project will increase safety and mobility along the SR 14 corridor by updating guardrail and installing median barrier on the West Camas Slough Bridge, building two half-interchanges at Union and 2nd Streets, and improving traffic flow on SR 14. The project is scheduled for construction in 2010.
Project information may be reviewed and obtained prior to the access hearing by visiting the project Web page at: www.wsdot.wa.gov/projects/SR14/CamasWashougal, or by contacting the Project Engineer. For those unable to attend the meeting, public testimony can be mailed to:
