Traffic Alert: Long-term SR 18 Lane Closures near Snoqualmie for Highway Widening Begin June 7

Effective June 7, 2023, SR 18 will experience long-term lane closures near Snoqualmie as the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) undertakes a significant highway widening project. The initiative aims to improve the I-90/SR 18 interchange, which has become a critical area for traffic flow, especially during peak commuting hours. WSDOT contractor crews will be actively working on the project, and motorists should brace for considerable traffic delays in the vicinity. The redesign of the interchange is expected to enhance safety and efficiency, accommodating the growing demands of local and regional traffic. Drivers are advised to explore alternate routes and prepare for longer travel times as construction progresses.

This project reflects WSDOT's commitment to improving infrastructure and ensuring safer roads for all users. The local community will ultimately benefit from these improvements as they experience reduced congestion and better traffic management in the future. For the latest updates, residents should stay informed through WSDOT’s official channels.
