Single-lane closures and 9-foot width restrictions will begin on the Vantage Bridge on Oct. 26, 2025, according to WSDOT. The restrictions will affect both directions of traffic on I-82 between mileposts 136 and 138, with eastbound restrictions starting at Exit 110 near Ellensburg and westbound restrictions at Exit 149 near George. The work is ongoing and will be in effect 24/7 until further notice. WSDOT has not provided a specific end date for the restrictions, but the agency states they are necessary for bridge maintenance and safety. Drivers should plan for slower traffic and reduced lane widths when traveling through the area after Oct. 26.
