TRAFFIC: Heavy snow in Cascades shuts down 2 roads
Associated Press
SEATTLE The Washington state Department of Transportation has temporarily shut down two highways in the Cascade Mountains due to heavy snow from a fall storm and plans to close a third.
Transportation officials closed Highway 410 over Chinook Pass and Highway 123 over Cayuse Pass this morning. They plan to close the North Cascades Highway on Highway 20 later this afternoon.
All three roads typically close during the winter due to heavy snow, but transportation officials say none of these are permanent closures. It is being assessed when all the roads can be reopened.
