A five-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 2 (U.S. 2) near Leavenworth will be closed next Wednesday (Sept. 25). The Washington State Department of Transportation (DOT) is shutting down the roadway through Tumwater Canyon so it can perform pre-winter maintenance.
The pre-winter maintenance will include felling hazardous trees, filling pot holes and other road repairs, and fixing damaged guardrails and drainage.
During the closure, traffic on U.S. 2 will be detoured around the work zone on State Route 207 and the Chumstick Highway. The alternate route does not apply to large trucks and oversized loads. Large and oversized loads need to Leavenworth must take U.S. (Highway) 97 over Blewett Pass from I-90 over Snoqualmie and then approach westbound from the Big Y.
The work will occur from milepost 84 to milepost 89 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is only scheduled to occur on Wednesday.
