Snoqualmie to close at night next week due to rock blasting
STAFF REPORT | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 12 years, 8 months AGO
HYAK - Rock blasting on Snoqualmie Pass is going to take place later at night next week, and drivers need to prepare for an hour of added travel time for blasting and for construction east of the pass on Interstate 90.
The Washington State Department of Transportation will close I-90 in both directions from Hyak (milepost 54) to the Price Creek Sno-Park (milepost 61) from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 22, and Wednesday, May 23.
This work is weather dependent and is subject to change.
There is only one more week left of daytime lane restrictions near Easton. Drivers need to plan for delays on I-90 Monday through Thursday, due to daytime single-lane closures in both directions.
To improve weekend traffic flow, crews will open one extra lane to eastbound traffic on Fridays and Saturdays and westbound traffic on Sundays.
Drivers will experience minor eastbound delays on I-90 near milepost 45 on Friday night, from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. due to a single lane closure. Through the next couple of months, traffic will be reduced to two lanes with narrow shoulders. Crews are working to repair the Bandera Bridge near North Bend.
