Vantage Bridge on I-82 will have single-lane closures, reduced speeds, and 9-ft width restrictions starting Oct. 26, 2025, at 6 p.m., according to a WSDOT notice. The closures will affect both directions of the bridge between mileposts 136 and 138, with eastbound restrictions beginning at Exit 110 near Ellensburg and westbound at Exit 149 near George. The notice states the restrictions will be in place 24/7 until further notice. WSDOT did not specify the reason for the closures, but such measures typically involve bridge maintenance or safety improvements. Drivers should plan for slower traffic and potential delays when traveling through the area. The effective date of Oct. 26, 2025, marks the start of the lane closures, with no mention of an end date in the public notice. WSDOT will update the public when the restrictions are lifted.
