TRAFFIC ADVISORY Flagger Controlled Traffic Delays beginning Tuesday, June 14 between Peshastin Leavenworth City of Leavenworth

A traffic advisory has been issued for US 2, where a rock slope stabilization project will commence on June 14, impacting travel between Leavenworth and Peshastin. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is undertaking this project to stabilize a slope with a history of rockfall, enhancing safety for all travelers. Initially, full stop closures will be enforced from 6 a. m. to 11:30 a.

m. , requiring motorists to expect delays of up to 20 minutes during these periods. Afterward, traffic will be managed by flaggers, with one lane open and potential delays continuing throughout the day. The stabilization work will involve rock dowels and shotcrete, which will take approximately 11 working days to complete. Although the project aims to finish before the Fourth of July, rain could lead to unavoidable delays.

Travelers are encouraged to stay informed about current conditions through WSDOT's real-time travel map and Twitter updates. This proactive measure underscores the commitment to maintaining safe travel routes in the region.
