Heavy snow in Cascades shuts down roads

The Washington state Department of Transportation has temporarily shut down two highways in the Cascade Mountains due to heavy snow from a fall storm and plans to close a third.

The Washington state Department of Transportation has temporarily shut down two highways in the Cascade Mountains due to heavy snow from a fall storm and plans to close a third.

Transportation officials closed State Route 410 over Chinook Pass and State Route 123 over Cayuse Pass this morning. They plan to close the North Cascades Highway on State Route 20 later this afternoon.

All three roads typically close during the winter due to heavy snow, but transportation officials say none of these are permanent closures. It is being assessed when all the roads can be reopened.
