WSDOT announced multiple highway closures effective this week in the Pullman area. Starting August 10, two northbound I-405 lanes will close nightly until August 14. I-5 will have lane closures from August 10-14 and again on August 15-16. US 2 will see single-lane closures Mondays through Thursdays until September 30. State Route 169 will close from August 17 to September 21 for fish barrier removal.
The closures affect major routes connecting Pullman to surrounding areas. WSDOT notes that local access remains available during SR 169 closure and detours will guide drivers around other closures. Most closures end between August 14 and September 21, with US 2 work continuing until late September.
WSDOT's maintenance work aims to improve road conditions and infrastructure. The department advises drivers to allow extra travel time during closure periods. No specific impacts on Pullman businesses or schools were mentioned in the public notice.
