Eastbound I-90 is back open after a mudslide forced a closure for around 24 hours, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) reported Thursday afternoon.

“All eastbound lanes of I-90 have reopened at Winery Road (milepost 27) after an earlier slide,” WSDOT stated on X.

The Washington State Patrol first reported the closure Wednesday afternoon, stating three vehicles were caught in the slide. No injuries were reported.
