Eastbound I-90 lane closures between North Bend, Snoqualmie Pass expected to cause traffic delays

The Washington State Department of Transportation is advising drivers who are heading east on I-90 this weekend to plan for extra travel time due to lane closures.

Starting Friday, two eastbound lanes will be closed between the Denny Creek area and the summit of Snoqualmie Pass.

Crews will be replacing old sections of I-90 and pouring new concrete.

The lane closures will remain in effect 24 hours a day, seven days a week until August.

Drivers should plan at least 30 minutes of added travel time through the area.
