Special Considerations

Interstate 90 provides a minimum of four lanes of high-speed, limited-access highway for the entire length of the Greenway corridor. All significant tourist stopping points can accommodate tour buses.

During the winter, the Department of Transportation is fully equipped for snow removal. The DOT has also designed I-90 to accommodate the need for vehicles to pull off the road and place chains on their tires. In 1997, the WSDOT installed a Vehicle Information System (VIS) that will monitor road conditions during winter months and transmit information to electronic signs at every highway interchange in order to provide travelers with up-to-the-minute road safety information.

Road conditions vary during the winter season, affecting travel time by lengthening the trip from a maximum of two hours to as many as four hours for the entire route.

Restrictions

Winter snow conditions on the I-90 Snoqualmie Pass regularly require the use of chains or other traction devices. However, the pass is rarely closed, and DOT winter crews are prepared for this contingency.
