- Heads up. US 395 near Loon Lake is backed up due to a collision blocking both directions. Expect long delays and seek alternate routes.
- Last night a rockslide closed a lane of SR 155 south of Steamboat Rock State Park. One of the rocks is large enough it will require blasting to break it up before it's cleared. Plan for auto-flagger controlled traffic and delays until clean up and repairs are complete.
- Last night around 11:15pm, while our crews were performing maintenance on EB I-90 in Spokane, a vehicle ran into the back of one of our vehicles. Thankfully there were no injuries. Please, please, please slow down, move over and use caution. This happens all too often.

- (1/2) We will close the Hansen Rd overpass over I-90 (Exit 174) in Moses Lake starting Sat, Jan. 17 at 6AM, after an inspection raised concerns about deterioration of the bridge. Additional inspection is needed to determine next steps. There is no estimated time to reopen.

- Shoutout to our snowplow drivers who worked tirelessly around the clock last night and this morning to keep our roads clear. They truly are the best around.
- Crews are also mopping up the on- and off-ramps in the Spokane area this morning. Remember, our plows travel 35 MPH or less when clearing and treating roadways.
- Good Thursday morning! That was quite the night last night, but the work isn't done! Just spotted one of our wing plows headed south on US 195 in Spokane. Crews are out monitoring roads and cleaning up the shoulders. Please continue to give them plenty of space to work.
- FINAL: WB I-90 is back open.
- Crews are BUSY tonight! Please make sure to give them space and drive for conditions. Crew member shared this picture filling material at our new salt shed that was completed this past fall, just off the North Spokane Corridor. Location is critical to limit crews time off our roads.
- All lanes of westbound I-90 near the Four Lakes interchange, approximately 10 miles west of Spokane, are currently blocked due to a collision. Use alternate routes.

- CORRECTION ON THE MILEPOSTS: The road will open at 6AM between Coles Corner and the summit **which is milepost 64-85**.
- Snowy conditions have forced our contractor on US 2 Stevens to pause repairs. Work will remain on hold Wednesday (1/7). The road will open at 6AM between Coles Corner and the summit (MP 85-99), but there will not be a pilot car. Road will close again at 6PM Wednesday.
- If you missed last month's community engagement for the NSC & I-90 connection, you've got two opportunities to weigh in this week. 1. Carl Maxey Center: 1/7 - 5:30-7PM 2. Liberty Park Library: 1/8 - 10AM-12PM Topics at these open houses include pedestrian bridge & plaza design.
- This is how we do it: Love to see this convoy of US 2 Stevens Pass travelers giving our plow drivers space to do their thing. Thank you!

- US 12 EB at MP 337 (Walla Walla) now cleared and open to traffic.
- US 12 EB at MP 337 (Walla Walla) closed due to blocking collision. No estimated time for reopening. Traffic detoured using local roads.
- They say don't bury the lede: US 2 Stevens Pass is scheduled to reopen at Skykomish 6AM, Jan 1. On the east side of Stevens, we still have pilot car operations 6AM-6PM. Chumstick Highway is the detour for US 2 Tumwater Canyon to Coles Corner.
- 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.
- SR 240 EB at MP 38 in Richland cleared; all lanes open.
- SR 240 EB at MP 38 near Columbia Park Trail in Richland reduced to single lane due to collision. Travelers should expect backups and delays.
