WSDOT to close I-90

Plan to spend more time on I-90 if you cross Snoqualmie Pass next week.
Construction crews will reduce the interstate to one lane in each direction, all week, for paving work.
“Since it’s only going to be one lane in each direction, if a stalled vehicle happens or there’s a collision, it’s definitely going to add more time to people’s commute. We want people to heed our warning when we say ‘make sure you give yourself plenty of time to go over the pass next week,'” says Meagan McFadden, with the Washington State Transportation Department.
Lane restrictions east of the pass begin Sunday, Oct. 15 at 9 p.m. and last until Friday, Oct. 19 at 7 a.m.
The closure could be extended due to weather delays.
