After years of planning, construction, and patience from our communities, the newly widened stretch of SR 18 between I-90 and Deep Creek is now open, bringing smoother, safer travel for commuters, freight haulers, and families — now with two lanes in each direction!
This milestone marks major progress in the I-90/SR 18 Interchange Improvements project, which is designed to improve safety and traffic flow along one of our region’s busiest corridors. The newly opened lanes remove a long-standing bottleneck near Snoqualmie that caused heavy congestion and safety concerns for years.
The project also includes new four-lane bridges that improve fish passage along Lake Creek and Deep Creek, and a new bridge over Raging River. The diverging diamond interchange, which opened earlier this summer, is now fully integrated with the expanded roadway, and WSDOT will continue its monitoring work in the coming weeks and months.
While construction will continue into 2026 for final paving, landscaping, and finishing touches, this is a huge step forward for our region’s commuters, freight haulers, and families who rely on SR 18 every day.
We’re deeply grateful to the Washington State Department of Transportation, contractor crews, local governments, law enforcement, emergency services, and all the community members who have shown patience and partnership throughout this complex project.

We’re proud to see this progress benefiting our communities — and we’ll keep working to ensure East King County gets the safe, efficient infrastructure it deserves.
Sincerely,
Rep. Lisa Callan
Rep. Zach Hall
Finally, two lanes each way between I-90 and Deep Creek means fewer delays for both my morning commute and the local freight haulers. This interchange upgrade is a game-changer — check out https://animatediff.net
Trang chủ KUWIN mình ghé thử cho biết vì thấy bạn bè nhắc, chủ yếu xem giao diện ra sao thôi. Vào cái là thấy trang bày khá thoáng, chữ dễ nhìn, mấy mục trên menu gom lại gọn nên tìm không bị rối. Mình có lướt qua phần Hướng Dẫn và Giải Đáp, kiểu viết hỏi đáp nên đọc nhanh vẫn hiểu, có đoạn nói kết quả vận hành theo RNG nên cũng thấy yên tâm hơn chút. Chuyển qua lại các mục cũng mượt, không bị giật hay phải chờ lâu. Mình thích nhất là cách họ đóng khung nội dung thành các box rõ ràng, nhìn phát biết đang ở phần nào. Trên mình thấy các khối…
It's like using a life path number calculator and getting a clear answer after a long wait-makes my future commute calculations much brighter!
While checking this news on my phone during a coffee break, I thought about how satisfying it is when a complex project comes together, almost like solving a tricky water sort puzzle where everything finds its right place.
The quiz about koji kanji is fascinating! Traditional brewing knowledge requires so much attention to detail. After focusing on such deep cultural topics, I like to unwind with something light. I often play スイカゲーム because it is relaxing, colorful, and helps my mind reset after a long day of learning.
