All lanes of westbound I-90 near Cle Elum were closed Thursday morning after a semi truck caught fire, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Photos of the aftermath were posted to WSDOT’s Snoqualmie Pass social media account at around 6:30 a.m., showing a large crane in the middle of the road, apparently working on moving the remnants of an entirely burned semi.
Officials confirmed that the westbound lanes of I-90 near Cle Elum would remain closed for several more hours as crews cleaned up and assessed bridge damage.
Drivers were asked to use US 97 as a detour.
