All westbound lanes of US 2 at State Route 204 (SR 204) at milepost 2 are back open, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) reported Wednesday.

WSDOT stated the lanes were closed due to an incident, which was also blocking the US 2 eastbound ramp to SR 204.

There were emergency responders at the scene.

“People should plan travel accordingly and consider seeking an alternate route,” WSDOT wrote in its news release.
