All lanes of I-90 reopen after slide

Associated Press

SNOQUALMIE PASS, Wash. – All four lanes of Interstate 90 have been reopened after crews lifted restrictions near Snoqualmie Pass for the first time since a rockslide last month, but the respite was short-lived.

State Transportation Department Crews removed a one-lane restriction for eastbound traffic at 7 a.m. Tuesday and a similar restriction for westbound travel Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.

Following renewed lane restrictions and reduced speed limits during the daytime Wednesday for replacement of concrete barriers, transportation officials said they hoped to resume normal traffic with the speed limit back to 65 mph by today.
