Snoqualmie Blasting Times Changing

If you're headed to the west side of the state this week at all, be aware that as summer fades, so does daylight, which means the start-time for rock blasting on I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass is now 7 p.m. For the safety of Washington State Department of Transportation crews, the work must be performed during daylight hours.

I-90 will be closed both directions from Gold Creek (milepost 56) to the Price Creek Sno Park (milepost 61) today, tomorrow and Thursday, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. each day.

You'll also need to plan for the these impacts on I-90 just east of Snoqualmie Pass:

• Rolling slowdowns today through Friday, Sept. 9.

• Traffic restricted to one lane each direction tonight through Friday morning, Sept. 9, from 8 p.m. to 9 a.m., and Friday night, Sept. 9, at 10 p.m. to Saturday morning, Sept. 10, at 7 a.m.
