Washington Governor Bob Ferguson has announced that the west side of U.S. Highway 2 between Skykomish and Stevens Pass will fully re-open to traffic starting Sunday.
The east side of Highway 2, between Stevens Pass and Coles Corner, opened with restrictions on Monday, using a detour and pilot car that operates 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Those restrictions will remain in place for months.
Drivers are reminded that U.S. 2 is an active work zone and delays are to be expected. Travelers should consider other cross-state travel routes, like Interstate 90 or U.S. Highway 12, when possible. Contractor crews continue repair work on the east side of Stevens Pass Resort through Tumwater Canyon. Travelers are asked to adjust to conditions during these limited re-openings, including following all signs and directions, not passing the pilot car or cutting the queue and planning ahead for winter weather.
