Ridgefield prepares for In-N-Out traffic ahead of opening

Posted

The City of Ridgefield has released a traffic plan to manage congestion expected when the highly anticipated In-N-Out Burger opens in Union Ridge Town Center near Interstate 5 and Pioneer Street. Customer lines will be contained in designated staging areas on private property. The restaurant will open its doors on Wednesday, Aug. 20, in Ridgefield. 

The location will be In-N-Out Burger’s first in Washington state. It is located at 5801 N. Pioneer Canyon Drive. A press release stated the location will be open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and until 1:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Parking or lining up on public roads will be prohibited and enforced by law enforcement. If the staging areas fill, drivers will be turned away and asked to return later, a news release from the City of Ridgefield stated.

Temporary changes to improve traffic flow at the 56th Place and Pioneer Street roundabout began Monday, Aug. 11. Adjustments include a dedicated right-turn lane for Union Ridge Town Center traffic and a closure of the northbound roundabout exit. These changes will remain in place until there are two lanes open in each direction through the Pioneer Widening project, the release stated.
