Beginning the week of January 30, residents in Snoqualmie will face increased traffic congestion due to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) focusing on the I-90/SR 18 Interchange Improvement Project. This undertaking is set to result in slowdowns and intermittent lane closures, which could significantly impact daily travel routines. Officials are urging the community to prepare for potential delays and to consider alternative routes to avoid the worst of the congestion. The primary goal of the construction is to enhance traffic flow and improve safety in this busy area, making it a critical project for local commuters. As work progresses, WSDOT plans to provide ongoing updates to keep residents informed about the project's status.

The local government is also emphasizing the importance of community awareness and planning during this construction phase. Residents are advised to monitor traffic reports closely and adjust their schedules accordingly to minimize inconvenience. Ultimately, the project aims to deliver long-term benefits for the Snoqualmie community by improving infrastructure and reducing congestion.
