A semi truck is blocking all lanes of eastbound I-90 nearl Cle Ellum Wednesday morning.

CLE ELUM, Wash. — Eastbound I-90 is back open after it was closed briefly due to a semi truck crash, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation. 

The crash happened at mile post 79, just east of Cle Elum. 

Travelers were told to expect delays if they're traveling eastbound across the pass. Right now traction tires are advised on Snoqualmie pass, chains are required on I-82/Manatash Ridge near Eburg, and avalanche control is in progress on Stevens Pass due to snowfall. 

WSDOT is also out on I-90 closer to Spokane. The aptly named "Plowie McPlow Plow" is out Wednesday morning as snow continues to fall ther. WSDOT asks drivers to give crews plenty of space to clear the roadway, and remember that plows treat and clear the roadway at 35 mph or less.
