Snoqualmie, WALocal News

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has announced that lane reductions on SR 18 near Tiger Mountain will commence on January 31, creating potential overnight delays for drivers. The project involves reducing the highway to a single lane with alternating traffic on weeknights, aimed at widening the roadway and improving safety for all users. This construction is set to continue through March, making it crucial for local residents to adjust their travel plans accordingly. WSDOT advises travelers to expect longer travel times and urges them to drive with caution in the work zone. The lane reductions are part of a broader initiative to enhance the infrastructure in the region, responding to increased traffic demands.

The agency is committed to keeping the public informed throughout the process. Community members are encouraged to monitor updates from WSDOT for any changes to the schedule. By proactively addressing these improvements, WSDOT aims to minimize disruptions while enhancing the overall safety and efficiency of SR 18.
