NEWHALEM, Wash. — The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) says it’s cleared a landslide that was blocking the westbound lanes of State Route 20 in Newhalem.
The slide happened around midnight and is located near milepost 121.
WSDOT maintenance crews plowed the eastbound lane so traffic could alternate until the westbound lane could be cleared.
For several hours, drivers were having to take turns using the eastbound lane to get around the slide, but that issue has now been resolved.
