Vancouver, Wash. – Northeast Washougal River Road opened to two-way traffic Monday after a contractor cut down a large Douglas fir that threatened to fall onto power lines and the road.

A short section of the road near Northeast Paradise Road had been closed since late Thursday after a small landslide sent rocks and other debris onto the road. Public Works crews pushed the debris off the road Friday morning, but the county kept the road closed through the weekend because of the potential for more rocks and other material to fall from the hillside.
