WHITE PASS, Wash. (AP) — State transportation officials say U.S. 12 over White Pass has reopened in both directions as of 5 p.m. Tuesday.

The highway was closed about two weeks ago after rain caused washouts and mudslides west and east of White Pass.

The Department of Transportation says a traffic light will direct traffic through a single lane near the repairs areas east and west of the mountain pass. Semi-trucks are not allowed.

White Pass Ski Area is scheduled to open on Wednesday.

Permanent road repairs are planned for the spring.
