Snoqualmie, WALocal News

I-90 between Preston and Issaquah is set for significant lane closures starting in May due to crucial pavement repairs being conducted by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The construction will reduce the highway to one lane in each direction, leading to anticipated delays for local drivers. These repairs focus on enhancing the safety and longevity of the bridge decks situated east of Issaquah, which are vital for maintaining smooth traffic flow. WSDOT is urging motorists to stay informed and to consider using alternative routes to mitigate congestion during peak hours. This project highlights the state's commitment to infrastructure maintenance, ensuring that the roads remain safe for all users.

Local residents are particularly advised to monitor updates from WSDOT as the work progresses. The situation emphasizes the importance of community awareness and preparedness in light of ongoing construction activities. Overall, the repairs are aimed at significantly improving travel conditions for drivers in the Snoqualmie area.
