The Washington State Department of Transportation and contractor crews will close I-90 for rock blasting for about an hour each night from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16 and Thursday, Sept. 17. Eastbound traffic will be stopped at Gold Creek (milepost 56) and westbound traffic will be stopped at Price Creek(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 24/7 through October. Crews will adjust the detour to facilitate heavier traffic on the weekends. The westbound off-ramp to Cle Elum and Wenatchee will be closed to traffic starting 10 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13 through Thursday, Oct. 8. A detour will be in place to direct traffic to the next westbound off-ramp (Oakes Ave. I/C, exit 84).
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 this fall.
