Extended closures next week means drivers need to plan ahead and add two or more hours to their travel time.

The Washington State Department of Transportation and contractor crews plan to close I-90 in both directions starting at 7:30 p.m., Monday, July 22 and Wednesday, July 24. Traffic will be stopped eastbound at Gold Creek (milepost 56) and westbound at Price Creek (milepost 61) and at Easton (milepost 70). A reopening time depends on the amount of debris that comes down and the stability of the slope.

The closures planned for Tuesday, July 23 and Thursday, July 25 are scheduled for one hour from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. The pass will be closed eastbound at Gold Creek (milepost 56) and westbound at Price Creek (milepost 61).

Drivers will also experience delays due to multiple construction zones from North Bend to Ellensburg Monday through Friday.
