Project overview
This is a preservation project that will remove and replace the northbound Interstate 5 East Fork Lewis River Bridge, located just south of Woodland in Clark County. This bridge crosses the East Fork of the Lewis River, Paradise Point State Park and Northwest Toenjes Road, near milepost 18.21.
What to expect
When construction begins, travelers should prepare for three years of construction with nighttime single and double lane closures. During the day, three lanes of travel will remain open and minimal traffic impacts are expected.
Project Status
This project uses the Design-Build method, where one team handles both the design and construction. This approach helps meet project objectives while reducing risks and saving time.
Next, teams will submit their proposals, and the contract will go to the team offering the best value. Once selected, the project will move into the Design-Build phase, allowing design and construction to happen at the same time.
