Expect Delays at I-90/SR 18 Interchange Aug. 21-28 for Ramp Closures, Traffic Shift

Snoqualmie, WALocal News

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has issued a travel advisory for significant delays at the I-90/SR 18 interchange from August 21-28. This period will see multiple ramp closures and traffic shifts, which are expected to disrupt regular traffic patterns. Specifically, two nights of lane reductions on SR 18 are set for August 21 and 22, which could hinder access for commuters. Additionally, multiple closures of eastbound I-90 on-ramps will take place from August 22 and continue through August 25-28, compounding potential delays for drivers in the region. WSDOT is encouraging travelers to account for extra time in their schedules to mitigate the impact of these changes on their daily commutes.

The advisory highlights the ongoing efforts by WSDOT to enhance traffic flow and safety through infrastructure improvements. Commuters are advised to stay informed about the construction activities and their potential effects on travel times. By planning ahead, drivers can adapt their routes and schedules to minimize disruptions during this construction phase.
