Both directions of I-90 in Ritzville are 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. and will remain closed until further notice, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced.
Lengthy delays are expected, and travelers are urged to seek alternate routes.
