• Public Works

Vancouver, Wash. – Recent rain and snow has triggered a road washout on Northwest Pacific Highway northwest of La Center.

Clark County Public Works closed the road at Northwest Wellman Avenue Tuesday afternoon. Water can be seen rushing underneath a portion of the road through an opening in the asphalt.

This will be a long-term closure since the road will require extensive rebuilding before it can reopen to traffic. It may take weeks before engineers and geotechnical experts can fully assess the situation.
