UPDATE MAY 15: Some good news to share - with work happening under both emergency contracts, we expect we'll fully reopen SR 20/North Cascades Hwy by June 25. This is 10 days earlier than the goal we stated last week. Read more about the repairs: bit.ly/SR20RepairsBlog







Northbound I-5 at Sunset Drive in Bellingham is fully blocked due to an incident. Traffic is being diverted to the Sunset Drive exit. Police and fire crews are on scene. Expect delays and seek alternate routes.

UPDATE MAY 6: After getting equipment on site, our contractor began inspecting the slope and dislodging loose rocks and debris. This delicate process, called scaling, will continue for several days. SR 20 remains closed from MP 130-156. No access for hiking, biking or camping.




UPDATE MAY 5: We began work to stabilize the slope & clear debris on SR 20 near Diablo Lake (MP 131) today. This is the first of two emergency contracts needed to repair & reopen North Cascades Hwy. SR 20 remains closed from MP 130-156. This INCLUDES bikers, hikers and campers.
