MOUNT BAKER – WSDOT crews temporarily closed the road to Artist Point on Monday morning because of snow in the area. Crews have placed temporary barricades on SR 542 at milepost 55.2, near the interpretive center.

The closure is day-to-day. Crews will reassess the situation Tuesday and determine whether it is safe to reopen the road.

Crews opened the 2.7 mile road to Artist Point on July 18, 2008.
