Heading east this summer? Not so fast — the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is expecting a busy season of construction projects on I-90, so be sure to plan ahead!

VANTAGE — Travelers going over Snoqualmie Pass this summer should add pencil in a little extra time for delays due to road work, and not just at the Vantage Bridge. Most of the work is concentrated between North Bend and Ellensburg and will involve lane closures, sometimes all eastbound or westbound lanes for short times.

If you need to drive across Washington State on I-90 over the next couple of months, you will want to be prepared.
