Weekly Updates for Public Works Projects
Current Events
This page is updated weekly based on staff meeting notes. We try to reflect the most current status of construction projects and how they may effect the citizens of Camas. In reading these notes, please remember that they reflect the best information we have at the time of publication. Construction activity has many variables that can change or delay projected schedules. The Engineering Dept. strives to provide notice 24 hours prior to construction to adjoining neighbors through a number of methods, which include mailings, door hangers, and in some cases, phone calls.
