@wsdot EXPECT CHALLENGING CROSS-STATE TRAVEL TODAY. IF YOU DON鈥橳 NEED TO TRAVEL, DON鈥橳. Gosh, who ordered the snow?! 馃憖 I-90 WILL REMAIN CLOSED OVERNIGHT in both directions from North Bend to Ellensburg (MP 34-106). The highway has severe compact snow and ice, making for treacherous driving conditions with more weather on the way. Spring storms bring freeze/thaw/freeze conditions, essentially turning I-90 into an ice rink. Normally, we would bring resources in from the lowlands to assist, but there is snow in those areas and those resources are not available. US 2 at Tye River Road (MP 51) is CLOSED in both directions due to a collision involving a snowplow. No estimated time to reopen. This means that, as of Friday morning, the only cross-state routes fully open are US 12 and SR 14 near the Oregon border. Again, if you don鈥檛 need to travel today, don鈥檛. More updates: SR 410 is CLOSED in both directions from Enumclaw to Greenwater due to trees over the roadway. No estimated time to reopen. CHAINS REQUIRED FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT AWD - US 2 Stevens Pass - US 97 Blewett Pass - US 12 White Pass (traction tires) IMPORTANT: Conditions change quickly, and I wouldn鈥檛 rely on this post for the most up-to-date information. Your best bet for real-time conditions is our travel map: https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/ or mountain pass reports: https://wsdot.com/travel/real-time/mountainpasses/ (On Instagram, you can screenshot this caption and click the links on the screenshot). And for those wondering: We haven鈥檛 a chance to talk to Steve today. He鈥檚 based in Spokane, and they got some snow, so even if he鈥檚 not plowing, he鈥檚 probably making snow angels somewhere. Sleeveless, as always.
