For the safety of the traveling public, crews will temporarily close the eastbound lanes near Price Creek, milepost 63 and the westbound lanes near Easton, milepost 70 at 6:30 p.m. The closure will last up to an hour.

This multi-year project is funded by the 2015 Connecting Washington funding package and is scheduled to be complete in 2025.
