Traveling I 90? Be Prepared For A Delay

Driver’s should plan ahead for added travel time as crews make way for more lanes on I-90. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and contractor crews will close I-90 in both directions from Hyak (milepost 56) to the Price Creek Sno Park (milepost 61) on Thursday, June 2 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Drivers should plan for an hour of added travel time.

Also, crews will close I-90 in both directions near Vantage (milepost 136) and the Kittitas Interchange (milepost 115) on Thursday, June 2 at 2 p.m. due to rock blasting.
