EASTON – Crews will continue to work at night to make repairs to a five-mile section of Interstate 90 east of Snoqualmie Pass next week.
 
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will close a single lane nightly in each direction of I-90 from 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 9, to 9:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 12, between Price Creek (milepost 62) and Easton Hill (milepost 68).
 
This project is a temporary solution to repair damaged asphalt on I-90 until WSDOT can secure funding to pave this five-mile section of highway.
 
The speed limit through the work zone will be reduced to 55 mph and drivers are urged to obey the speed limit and “give em a brake.”
 
Drivers can use the following tools to better plan their trips across the pass:
