The next phase of construction on the Northwest Sixth Avenue and Northwest Norwood Street roundabout will start this week, and that means some road closures are coming to Camas.
On Monday, both offramps at Exit 12 of state Highway 14 will close at 9 p.m. and remain closed until 6 a.m. Tuesday. That will allow for new striping and other improvements to the ramps.
Starting Wednesday, the north leg of the intersection at Northwest Sixth Avenue and Northwest Norwood Street will be closed for about four or five weeks. There will be a temporary access road for those looking to head west on Highway 14 from Northwest Sixth Place east of Northwest Sierra Lane. During that time, the construction crew will build the northerly portion of the roundabout, said James Hodges, project manager with the city of Camas.
“This next phase probably has the biggest impact to traffic,” he said.
Construction on the city-funded $2.2 million project started in late May and is expected to last until late October or early November, according to Hodges.
