US 97 Blewett Pass Closed Sep 9 14, 2018

The closure of US 97 Blewett Pass from September 9 to September 14, 2018, will affect all traffic in both directions, necessitated by the replacement of three culverts under the highway. This significant infrastructure project includes the installation of two box culverts located approximately 1. 5 and 4. 5 miles north of the summit, along with a third culvert near the Swauk Creek campground. The simultaneous execution of these culvert replacements is designed to minimize disruptions for motorists and recreational users of the area.

In addition to the full closure, travelers should anticipate possible single-lane closures on weekdays throughout the month of September. Local authorities encourage residents and visitors to plan their journeys in advance to mitigate inconveniences. A printable flyer detailing the project and its implications is available for those seeking further information. By taking these proactive measures, the city aims to ensure public safety and maintain the integrity of the highway. This closure highlights the ongoing commitment to infrastructure improvements in the region.
