I-90 Closed Both Directions, Multiple Collisions, No Reopening Estimate

Washington State DOT issued an emergency closure of Interstate 90 in both directions between mileposts 47 and 71 following multiple blocking collisions near Snoqualmie Pass. The closure was triggered by winter weather conditions that allegedly caught drivers off guard. The agency has not issued a reopening estimate.

Trucking companies, logistics operators, and general travelers in the Snoqualmie Pass corridor should anticipate extended delays and should not rely on I-90 as a transit route until the highway is cleared and reopened. Commercial carriers operating on east-west routes through Washington State should monitor WA DOT advisories for route alternatives.
