WOODLAND – Woodland city officials Monday updated Southwest Washington Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler on a stalled project to update an intersection along Interstate 5 and pitched it as a candidate for federal funding.
The project is currently at a standstill, like the traffic that often backs up entering the city at the Exit 21 off-ramp. The interchange at the south end of town handles traffic entering and exiting Interstate 5 at State Route 503, which is heavily congested, especially during the weekday rush hour.
