Rock and gravel has been trucked in from Skamania County and piled along the highway shoulder between Second and Sixth streets in Washougal in preparation for work on the state Route 14 improvement project. Work is expected to get under way early this summer.

For the past several weeks crews have been stockpiling rock and dirt along the shoulder of state Route 14 in anticipation of the onset of construction of the much anticipated Camas-Washougal widening and interchange project.

According to WSDOT Area Engineer Chris Tams, the material is being trucked in from another ongoing WSDOT Highway 14 project — $4.3 million in safety improvements being made from the Cape Horn Bridge to Cape Horn Road.
