No Snow, But Delays On The Pass Already

It's not even winter yet and there are already delays on the pass! The Washington State Department of Transportation is warning drivers that, from now until November, you should prepare for delays when travelling Snoqualmie Pass.

Because heavy construction on the Lake Easton to Bullfrog Road concrete replacement project wasn't started until after Labor Day, crews are working day and night to complete improvements before the first snowfall.

Traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction late Sunday night through Friday morning using the existing eastbound lanes. On weekends, three travel lanes will be open - with two lanes in the peak travel direction – to accommodate higher traffic volumes. The speed limit through the construction zone is 50 mph.
