πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

WSDOT crews will continue paving and repaving work on US 2 and Chumstick Highway through mid-September, causing lane closures and detours. On Sept. 9, drivers on US 2 in north Wenatchee will face a right-lane closure from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. while crews repair rough spots between mileposts 118 and 119.

US 2 west of Cashmere will see single-lane closures Mondays through Thursdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Sept. 30, with Dryden Ave., Alice Ave., and Saunders Rd. closed Wed. through Fri. Sept. 9-11. Chumstick Highway between Leavenworth and Plain will have daily slowdowns from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Fridays through Sept. 25, with single-lane closures, pilot cars, and flaggers present.

The Vantage Bridge width restrictions, already in place since Oct. 2025, remain active 24/7 with reduced speeds and 9-foot width limits.
