Highway 123 in Rainier National Park expected to open today

Highway 123 in Mount Rainier National Park will open at noon after crews finish stabilizing the roadway following last week's washouts.

Highway 123 in Mount Rainier National Park will open at noon after crews finish stabilizing the roadway following last week's washouts.

The highway closed on Nov. 13 when a two-and-a-half-foot rock blocked a three-foot-wide-pipe. The resulting flooding damaged the underpinnings of the road causing the highway to washout in three places.

The highway stretches from the Cayuse Pass summit in Mount Rainier National Park south to Highway 12 in Lewis County.

The state Department of Transportation closes Cayuse Pass every winter due to high avalanche risk and hazardous driving conditions. Crews are actively monitoring the weather forecast and expect to close Cayuse Pass in December.
