Two more years of blasting remain on a $570 million project to improve Interstate 90 across Snoqualmie Pass.
The Associated Press
HYAK, Wash. —
Two more years of blasting remain on a $570 million project to improve Interstate 90 across Snoqualmie Pass.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports it's one of the Transportation Department's largest road projects.
Crews are removing more than 1 million tons of rock and building six new bridges along a three-mile stretch east of the summit.
When completed, I-90 will have six new lanes, a snowshed across the entire freeway and a longer area for drivers to remove tire chains.
The main east-west highway across Washington carries 27,000 vehicles on a weekday and many more on weekends and holidays.
