I-90 in Ritzville has reopened after both directions were blocked Friday due to multiple collisions stemming from a lack of visibility caused by a dust storm moving through the area.
The closure began at approximately 2:45 p.m., the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced.
Lengthy delays were expected, and travelers were urged to seek alternate routes.
