US 2 Tumwater Canyon reopened to two-way traffic
Highway has been closed since dramatic damage from December storms; additional work on permanent repairs to come this summer
LEAVENWORTH – As of 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 10, US 2 Tumwater Canyon (mileposts 90-99) near Leavenworth has reopened to normal, two-way traffic, more than a month ahead of schedule. This fully restores cross-state access on US 2 between Skykomish and Leavenworth. Additional work will be needed this summer to complete permanent repairs along US 2 including Tumwater Canyon and Stevens Pass, which may require closures.
In the aftermath of December’s historic flooding, the Washington State Department of Transportation has been working around the clock to reopen more than 90 roads across the state. The damage to US 2 was extensive, with multiple closures.
The Tumwater Canyon section has been closed since mid-December due to severe washouts.
Reopening this stretch means that US 2 between Skykomish and Leavenworth is fully reconnected, and all sections of US 2 that closed due to flooding and washouts have now reopened to traffic.
