Night closures planned on Highway 2 for Jan. 25 and 26

Closures will allow Snohomish PUD to complete emergency repairs

Travelers should plan ahead and find alternate routes for trips over Highway 2/Stevens Pass between the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 25, and Thursday, Jan. 26.

Snohomish PUD will close Highway 2 in both directions between Reiter Road and the intersection with 178th Street SE in Gold Bar, Wash. Access will be provided for emergency vehicles.

Travelers should visit Washington State Department of Transportation real-time travel center for the latest information on road closures and travel times before traveling.

Closures are necessary for Snohomish PUD to complete two emergency pole replacements on each side of the river crossing. Utility poles were severely damaged during a winter storm on Dec. 24, 2022, and while temporary fixes have been in place, a permanent replacement is necessary to maintain safe and reliable service to customers.
