Work to complete a new roundabout at the intersection of State Route 28 and White Trail Road west of Quincy has been delayed for a second time. Washington Department of Transportation spokesperson Lauren Loebsack says despite the setback, the project is in its final stages...

Crews have closed off the shoulders of SR 28 in preparation for next Monday's (4/10) reduction of the highway to a single lane with flagger controlled traffic.

The project will bring a complex series of traffic detours in the area, which could bring lengthy delays and frustration to drivers.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Jeremy Weber says there were reports of some larger rocks blocking the roadway.

Both plows were struck in Eastern Washington, and there have been reports of cars passing plows on the shoulder and giving obscene gestures to plow drivers in the process.

The roadway was closed between Skykomish and Grotto from noon until 2 p.m. while crews removed hazardous trees and other debris.
