A WSDOT spokesman says a bomb threat closed three walk-in customer service centers in Seattle, Bellevue and Gig Harbor Monday.

All centers have been reopened after their brief closures over the afternoon.

The threat prompted the evacuation of phone representatives who work at those locations.

Spokesman Ethan Bergerson says customers could still access the Good to Go website or pay via the automated phone system while the centers were closed.

He couldn’t say when the scare might be over.
