CLE ELUM, Wash. – Emergency repairs on the damaged I-90 overpass near Cle Elum are set to begin at the end of November according to an official document.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced that the replacement span over westbound I-90 will utilize pre-cast girders or concrete support beams to speed up construction and minimize closure times.
Short-term full closures of westbound I-90 will be necessary as construction progresses. The closures may occur during the day or night, depending on the specific work being done.
Temporary all-day closures will be required to set new girders in place. WSDOT will provide exact dates and durations once the work is scheduled.
Additional short-term closures may also be necessary as work continues. When westbound I-90 is closed, traffic will be redirected using the westbound off- and on-ramps at Exit 80.
