Online open house highlights a busy 2022 construction season on I-90 from North Bend to Ellensburg

SNOQUALMIE PASS – Cross-state travelers will need to add extra travel time to their trips this summer, and fall. The Washington State Department of Transportation and construction crews will be busy improving sections Interstate 90 from North Bend to Ellensburg. Approximately seven construction projects through multiple construction areas are slated for 2022 through this 75-mile corridor. Delays will primarily occur weekdays. During summer weekends, there are delays as well due to traffic increases on Sundays.
