WSDOT Projects Getting Underway

- Depending on weather, on March 29, 30 and 31 from about 8:30 a.m. until as late as 3:30 p.m., the bridge on the eastbound US 2 on ramp to I-90 will be reduced to one lane. Crews will be repairing bridge expansion joints. This could cause slow downs for drivers.

- On Monday, March 28, beginning at 9 a.m. until as late as 2:30 p.m., eastbound I-90 will be reduced to 2 lanes to fix light poles in the area. In addition, the eastbound Altamont on-ramp will be closed. Be prepared for possible slow traffic. Drivers on eastbound Third Avenue will need to use the Freya Street on-ramp to access I-90. All other on/off ramps will remain open.

- Also beginning Monday, March 28, crews will begin work to widen I90 between Sullivan and Barker roads. The speed limit will be reduced to 60 mph. During evening and overnight hours, I-90 may be reduced to one through lane in each direction.
