HYAK – The Washington State Department of Transportation and contractor crews will close I-90 for rock blasting for about an hour each night from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 12, Tuesday, Oct. 13, Wednesday, Oct. 14 and Thursday, Oct. 15. Eastbound traffic will be stopped at Gold Creek at milepost 56 and westbound traffic will be stopped at Price Creek at milepost 61. In the same area, drivers will also experience minor delays during the day due to rolling slowdowns and nighttime lane closures in both directions weeknights.
Near Cle Elum, drivers will experience delays due to single lane closures in both directions weekdays and weeknights through the end of October. The westbound off-ramp to Cle Elum and Wenatchee at exit 85 is now open to traffic. Drivers will also see delays across the Vantage Bridge due to a single lane eastbound closure, which is in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until November 1.
