Woodland — Improvements to state Highway 503 at the intersection of Lewis River Road and East Scott Avenue are complete, and the city held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 7 to officially announce that the project is done.
The work included a roundabout at the intersection, new sidewalks from Hillshire Drive to Old Pacific Highway, new water mains and hydrants and sewer force main improvements. The roughly $2.2 million project was funded by a mix of Washington Transportation Improvement Board grant funds and city funds.
The city received two grants for the project, both from the state improvement board: one $2 million urban arterial grant and a $175,000 grant for the sidewalk improvements, according to Bart Stepp, director of public works in Woodland.
