Drivers traveling on Interstate 90 east of Snoqualmie Pass should plan for added travel time next week due rock blasting and lane closures.

During rock blasting closures eastbound drivers will be stopped at milepost 56 near Gold Creek and westbound drivers will be stopped at milepost 61 near Price Creek.

Drivers will also encounter minor nighttime delays between mileposts 51 to 87 due to single lane closuresMonday, July 13 through Friday, July 17.

A single lane eastbound closure remains in effect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across the Vantage Bridge as crews work to repaint the bridge.
