Lacamas Park Bridge Replacement Starts August

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Construction on a bridge replacement project at Lacamas Regional Park will begin in August, according to Clark County Public Works. The aging bridge along the main access road requires replacement to maintain safe access for maintenance vehicles, though pedestrian use remains safe. Trail closures will affect the northeast park area from August through November.

The project will close trails within the construction zone, with signage directing visitors to alternate routes. The City of Camas will also conduct dam maintenance near Round Lake starting in September, using flaggers to manage trail traffic during equipment movement. Clark County Public Works advises residents to avoid construction areas and follow posted signs for safety.

Updates on closures and schedules will be posted on the Lacamas Regional Park webpage and Clark County Public Works social media channels. Construction completion is estimated for November, though weather or other factors may delay the timeline.
