Road Work Alert: Scenic US 2 Ready to Get a Much-Needed Facelift!

Hold onto your steering wheels, folks! US 2 near Stevens Pass is gearing up for some heavy roadwork starting Tuesday. The Washington State Department of Transportation is diving into pavement repairs along a four-mile stretch just west of the summit, also known as the place where you finally get that breathtaking view and then wonder how you crowded all those snacks into your car. For the next few days, drivers will navigate flagger-controlled traffic and follow a pilot car—so keep your eyes on the road and your patience in check!

But wait, there’s more! This isn’t just about patching up some potholes. WSDOT has a few other tricks up their sleeve, including ongoing rock slope stabilization work, which means you’ll see more lane closures and delays. If you’re thinking of heading to Leavenworth for a little summer fun, brace yourself for an adventure that might include unexpected detours and scenic pauses. But hey, who doesn’t love a good excuse to stop for coffee or a quick photo op?

As you gear up for your drive, just remember: taking in the scenery, including the road repair crews, might add to your travel time, but safety comes first. So, what’s your best tip for staying entertained in a traffic jam? Podcasts? Singalongs? Let’s hear it!
