The Washington State Department of Transportation has released details about an upcoming $10 million improvement project for a stretch of East Mill Plain Boulevard and the East 15th Street couplet through downtown Vancouver, aimed at preparing the corridor to handle future growth.
The corridor is a primary feeder route to I-5 for downtown traffic and freight trucks coming from the Port of Vancouver. WSDOT worked with the city and the port to plan the project. The corridor is signed as state Highway 501, so it’s in the state’s jurisdiction.
