About Vancouver Traffic Monitoring
Vancouver sits at a geographic chokepoint where the Columbia River forces all north-south traffic onto a limited number of bridge crossings. This reality shapes the city's traffic patterns more than any other factor, with over 100,000 daily vehicle crossings between Vancouver and Portland. In addition to highway monitoring, users can access live street feeds and intersection cameras along Mill Plain Boulevard and Columbia Way to check for road-level gridlock near the Vancouver Waterfront. These road-level views are essential for navigating around downtown events and bridge-related surface street backups.
The I-5 Interstate Bridge Challenge
The Interstate Bridge carries I-5 traffic and remains one of the most congested sections of the entire interstate system. The dual spans include drawspan lifts for river traffic that can create unexpected 10-15 minute delays. Morning rush hour (6:30-9:00 AM) sees heavy southbound traffic toward Portland, while afternoon rush (4:00-7:00 PM) brings intense northbound congestion. Traffic safety is a constant concern on this aging infrastructure, which recently recorded a significant four-car collision in February 2026 that caused major regional delays.
The I-205 Alternative
The Glenn Jackson Bridge on I-205 connects Vancouver's eastern neighborhoods to Portland International Airport. The I-205/SR-14 interchange at the Washington end is a major junction that regularly backs up during peak hours and special events at the Gorge Amphitheatre.
Gorge Wind Hazards
The Columbia River Gorge acts as a wind tunnel. East winds can create hazardous driving conditions on SR-14 and the Glenn Jackson Bridge. Use our cameras to check for visibly swaying signs or debris before committing to the Gorge route during storm events.
Local Arterials & Growth
- SR-500: Connects I-5 to I-205 through the city core, passing Vancouver Mall. The Orchards area experiences some of the heaviest non-freeway traffic in Clark County, with commute times for the 5-mile stretch between the interstates averaging 3 minutes during peak evening flow.
- Port of Vancouver: Generates significant commercial truck traffic on Marine Drive and Mill Plain Boulevard. Monitor these cameras to navigate around heavy freight movements.
Waterfront Traffic
The redeveloped Vancouver Waterfront has added significant traffic to Columbia Way. Check cameras around the downtown street grid before heading to waterfront restaurants or hotels.
