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.

Travelers can keep up with traffic on WSDOT’s real-time map.
