Both directions of I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass reopen after being closed for spinouts, collisions

NORTH BEND, Wash. -- Both directions of I-90 Snoqualmie Pass were reopened Monday afternoon after being closed for hours for multiple collisions, the Washington State Patrol said.

"Expect long delays!" Trooper Brian Moore tweeted. "Drivers need to #slowdown and get there safely."

Earlier, westbound lanes of Interstate 90 were blocked Monday morning at the Snoqualmie Pass summit after a truck crashed.

WSDOT officials said it was unclear what led to the crash or when the freeway would reopen. Westbound traffic was also being stopped at Easton.

Troopers said at 12:30 p.m. that it would take hours to clear traffic once the freeway reopens. There was no estimated reopening time.



Eastbound lanes were briefly blocked at North Bend to allow crews to clear snow, but reopened around noon.


    In a separate incident, all lanes of I-5 were closed Monday morning after a tanker truck rolled over in the collector-distributor lanes of I-5 just south of I-90.

    This is a developing story and will be updated.
