A nearly $1 billion job to make a major artery connecting population centers from eastern to western Washington is about
to enter the third of four phases, but early on the planned project encountered a glitch that could have brought it to a halt. The I-90 Snoqualmie Pass East project spans a 15-mi. stretch of I-90 from Hyak to
Easton that “is essential to our quality of life and the economic vitality of Washington state … to meet both the current and future needs of this transportation corridor,” according to the Washington Department of
Transportation (WSDOT). The third phase is expected to go to bid this fall and covers nearly 6 mi. Completion is set for 2025. KLB Construction is the primary dirt mover. see WASHINGTON page 4
