The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has announced the overnight closure of US 2.
WSDOT says US 2 is closed at milepost 55, nine miles west of the Stevens Pass Summit, and milepost 85 at Coles Corner, 14 miles west of Leavenworth.
They say the closure is due to heavy traffic and severe winter weather. The pass will stay closed overnight Friday and will be reassessed Saturday.
No detour is available.
Illegally parked cars blocking plows
Earlier Friday, WSDOT said US 2 at Steven Pass was closed because plows were not able to clear the road due to illegally parked cars.
The closure began just before 2 pm at US 2 between mileposts 55 and 85 at Stevens Pass.
WSDOT said their plows were not able to clear the road due to illegally, parked vehicles at the summit.
US 2 Stevens Pass is now closed between milepost 55 and 85 because our plows are not able to clear the road due to illegally parked vehicles at the summit. If you have selfishly chosen to block our crews and first responders, come move your car off the highway. @wspd6pio pic.twitter.com/wXBZtqgwCY
