New litter PSA just dropped

Good morning, Northenders! I was going to say something insightful here, but in the spirit of National I Forgot Day I cannot remember. Prepping for a Fourth of July adventure? Allow extra time and map out your route with the @wsdot.wa.gov app.

Heads up commuters! Two lanes are closed across the SR 16 Tacoma Narrows Bridge to Gig Harbor. The Jackson Ave ramp to SR 16 is also closed. We're making emergency repairs to this bridge joint. Expect congestion and delays during the PM commute.

That was a fun first match in Seattle - bravo Egypt and Belgium! Interstate 5 and 90 traffic looking decent but congestion expected to increase with post-match traffic merging with afternoon commute.

The Belgium-Egypt match at Seattle Stadium (Lumen Field) has begun! Traffic volumes throughout the metro look great (as of 12 pm). Please be mindful the match ends at 2 pm and traffic will be integrating with the start of afternoon commute.

WELCOME TO WASHINGTON, SOCCER FANS. Get acquainted with our state via this highly accurate and mostly-to-scale map.

MATCH DAY! Hey soccer fans, welcome to Seattle! For key dates and how to get around, check out our Soccer Championship page: engage.wsdot.wa.gov/seattle-worl... Download the @wsdot.wa.gov app and follow @sound-transit.bsky.social & @seattledot.bsky.social for more transit options & traffic details.

FINAL UPDATE: SR 20/North Cascades Hwy is fully opened!!! We finished repairs early and reopened the scenic seasonal highway Sunday, June 14. Make sure to watch out for wildlife not used to traffic in the area. Read more about the repair efforts: bit.ly/SR20RepairsBlog @east.wsdot.wa.gov

Maintenance crews also took advantage of the NB I-5 closure in Seattle this weekend to get some work done around the Ship Canal Bridge, including: ✅Crack sealing ✅Guardrail work ✅Pipe repair ✅Sensor testing ✅Litter removal ... and more!

ARTIST POINT UPDATE! WSDOT maintenance crews are plowing through 20 feet of snow to clear the final 2.7 miles of SR 542/Mt. Baker Hwy, the road to Artist Point. Then, they will clear debris, hang signs and stripe the road. No ETA on the reopening, but progress continues!

Great news! SR 410/Chinook Pass and SR 123/Cayuse Pass through Mount Rainier National Park are now OPEN for the season! Crews have been clearing snow, installing signs and painting road lines to open by Memorial Day. REMINDER: Commercial vehicles are prohibited. @snoqualmiepass.wsdot.wa.gov

Did you know our fish passage projects also benefit wildlife? We spotted this little fawn at one of our completed US 101 fish barrier removal sites. When we replace barriers to fish with larger culverts or bridges, wildlife can pass under the highway instead of across it 🦌💙

Gridlocks & glizzies, oh my! Here's what's happening this holiday weekend: -Vantage Bridge OPEN 5/22-6/1 -NB I-5 over Ship Canal Bridge reduced 2 lanes -Both directions of SR 20 CLOSED from MP 130-156 -Expect long wait times for ferry travel -Expect traffic on I-5, I-90 & US 2

IT’S HERE! The first new Amtrak Cascades train set arrived in Seattle today!

On the last day of National Work Zone Awareness Month, WSDOT maintenance & incident responder Rachel Suitter shares her firsthand experience of being struck in a work zone: bit.ly/3OXv1Ht You can help crews get home safe every day. In work zones: Slow down. Move over.

Attention SR 20 travelers! The North Cascades Highway will PARTIALLY reopen TODAY at 2 p.m. from the east up to Porcupine Creek (MP 156). SR 20 will remain a work zone and closed to ALL public access 24/7 from MPs 156-130. Check out our blog: wsdotblog.blogspot.com/2026/04/nort...

SPEED LIMIT CHANGE- SR 92🚦 Heads up SR 92 travelers! Starting this week (4/29), the speed limit along SR 92 between Lake Stevens and Granite Falls will be permanently reduced from 55 to 50 mph. This change will go into effect when signs are installed.

It's Work Zone Awareness Month & work zones come in all stripes - like @wsdot.wa.gov's mobile striping crew! They took advantage of dry weather and refreshed 32 miles of SR 410 btwn Enumclaw & Greenwater for safety & visibility. Give them a brake & slow down if you see them.🧡

Just another beautiful day of being a public servant. Let’s check the DMs — oh.

LAST CALL: Studded tires must be removed by March 31 in Washington. Keep them on past the deadline and risk a $137 fine from Washington State Patrol. Plan ahead, tire shops get busy. If winter makes a comeback, use approved traction tires or carry chains.

@wsdot.wa.gov hey WSDOT! I believe in ferries!

(1/2) Spring has sprung on State Route 20 North Cascades Highway! The seasonal clearing starts next Monday, March 23. The team will start at Early Winters (MP 178) and head west, so we ask those who keep snowmobiles parked at the gate to please move them before Monday morning.

OPEN: SR 410 has REOPENED between Enumclaw and Greenwater. WSDOT maintenance crews worked from sunrise to sunset since Friday to clear 100+ fallen trees and plow/treat more than 60 highway miles.

US 2 Tumwater Canyon closure is "Over Now", but with snow continuing to fall this Friday morning, we are at chains required on both Stevens Pass and Blewett Pass. "Don't Follow" plows too close and drive for conditions with headlights on. "No Excuses".

Good morning from SR 410 between Enumclaw and Greenwater. Our crews are responding to downed trees and heavy snow across the region. Expect the unexpected - sudden road closures, fallen power lines or debris. Drive slowly for conditions and give our crews space to work @wsdot.wa.gov

Heads up @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social goers! I-405 in Bothell closes at 6 p.m. tonight. All lanes of NB I-405 at SR 522 and all lanes of SB I-405 from SR 527 to SR 522 will be closed until 4 a.m. Monday for ramp removal work. Consider alternate routes unless traffic is part of your origin story.

BEEP BEEP THE HAWKS ARE BACK IN SEATTLE. And so are 750,000 of your closest friends, all coming to Seattle to celebrate our SUPER BOWL CHAMPS. So if you're heading to Seattle tomorrow, take whatever ferry, bus, train, or spinning teacup is closest to you. Please.

That Super Bowl feeling is back, Seattle!! What an epic victory for the Seahawks, the 12s, the state of Washington and the left coast! With rain back in the forecast, remember to allow extra travel time and distance. Stay alert and make it a championship commute.

SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This admin may not have much snowplow content lately, but at least the North Spokane Corridor never lets us down.

How are we feeling today, Seattle?? With the decibel-shattering support of the 12s, your Seahawks are Super Bowl bound... again! Let's celebrate the win by making today's commute, safe and penalty-free. Allow extra follow distance and use extra caution in work zones.

Heads up: Avalanche control is scheduled for US 2 Stevens Pass starting at 4AM Friday (1/9). We will hold eastbound traffic at Scenic (milepost 58) while crews complete the mission, which takes between 30 minutes to 2 hours. Westbound US 2 will reopen at 6AM

When we say circle back in the new year, this is what we mean

Visiting US 2 Stevens, hearing multiple reports of cars passing the pilot car line and within 2 minutes see this rude move by an inconsiderate driver doing just that. This isn't just obnoxious, it is unsafe. You are endangering crews and fellow travelers. Just don't.

Hey now, would you look at that! Crews have made progress on road repairs and inspections and US 2 between Skykomish and Stevens Pass Resort will reopen for both directions in a limited capacity by Sunday, Jan. 4. More here: wsdot.wa.gov/about/news/2...

On Dec. 29, we'll reopen a portion of US 2 to daylight pilot car operations. A pilot car will guide alternating traffic between 6AM-6PM between Stevens Pass and Mill Creek Rd. More info: wsdot.wa.gov/about/news/2025/access-us-2-stevens-pass-reopen-daytime-pilot-car-operations-starting-dec-29

FINAL UPDATE: Emergency repairs on SR 410 in Enumclaw have finished after floodwaters damaged a section of the highway near Boise Creek in Enumclaw. The roadway has reopened in both directions.

Our friends at @nws.noaa.gov are predicting high winds for our region. Reminders: -Watch out for possible downed power lines & trees -DON'T drive through downed trees/lines/road closed signs -Treat dark traffic signals as all-way stops -Make sure your loads are extra secure

Repairs are complete on the NB SR 167 Third Ave SW bridge in Pacific. NB SR 167 lanes reopened across the bridge at 430am Tues (12/23). Third Ave SW also reopened. Our contractor & WSDOT crews worked around the clock to reopen ahead of schedule after bridge strike this fall.

Good morning, traffic fam. Don't forget to take some time to download the @wsdot.wa.gov app before you go for real-time alerts, ferry wait times, travel times and more. Search "WSDOT" in your app store.

FINAL UPDATE SR 167 Do you see what I see? Northbound SR 167 lanes and on-ramps are BACK OPEN in Kent and Auburn. Floodwater has receded, sandbags have been removed and WSDOT crews have inspected the highway before REOPENING Friday afternoon, Dec. 19.

UPDATE 5: Southbound SR 167 is OPEN between S 212th St in Kent & 15th St NW in Auburn. Northbound SR 167 remains CLOSED in this area due to water on the roadway. Our crews are placing sandbags and pumping water off the roadway. There is no ETA for reopening NB SR 167 lanes.

UPDATE 4: SR 410 has reopened between Enumclaw and Greenwater. We reestablished the WB lane for limited, single-lane access, controlled by temporary traffic signals that will alternate EB & WB. This is to safely manage essential movement while protecting the damaged roadway.

UPDATE 3: SB SR 167 has reopened in Kent and Auburn. Northbound SR 167 & multiple ramps remain closed btwn S 212th St and 15th St NW (mp 16-22) w/ water on the road. Our crews worked throughout the weekend to reopen the SB lanes. Work continues to redirect water off NB lanes.

Several roads across western WA reopened today. That's the good news. But we're still seeing water & debris in multiple places and ongoing road closures. The ground remains saturated in slide-prone areas. Stay vigilant Don't drive thru standing water Obey road closed signs

SR 410 UPDATE ✅ We are OPEN in both directions in Sumner. Water has receded from the roadway. @traffic.wsdot.wa.gov

As rain continues to fall, roads may continue to flood. Things to keep in mind these next few days🧵 1. Road conditions can change quickly, but your GPS apps may not have the most recent info. Check our travel map for the most accurate current conditions: wsdot.com/Travel/Real-...

Atmospheric river on the menu? We're ready! Our crews work in advance of the storm. Today, that meant clearing a downed tree on SR 410, prepping chainsaws at the Kent shed & pumping water on SR 18. Please slow down for our crews, they're working 24/7 to keep roads open.

Look, we know you're bombarded with 2025 Wrapped/Replay posts. But ours includes a majestic floating bridge and TLC, so… we felt compelled to share. What were you listening to in 2025, 520 fam?!

Village of Lights season is here, bringing to the city of Leavenworth half a million twinkling lights, holiday festivities...and traffic! Don't get spooked and add extra time for your trip if you're traveling on US 2 between Stevens Pass and Wenatchee this weekend.
