ORIGINAL STORY 7:00 a.m., 9-10-19
South Lakeshore Road at Slide Ridge (milepost 3) is closed due to a landslide. Crews are working at this time to clear mud, rock and debris from the area so a short bypass road that runs parallel to South Lakeshore Road can be opened. Crews hope to have that bypass road open before noon today.
The estimated depth of material on the roadway at Slide Ridge is 8 feet. Motorists should avoid the area at this time. We will update the public when the bypass road has been opened.
In Entiat, crews continue to work to clean up after a mudslide this weekend on portions of Entiat River Road. Crews are working between mileposts 11 and 15. Motorists should expect one-lane, flagger-controlled traffic in the work area.
Chelan County road crews had planned to start pre-level work in the Wenatchee area today. The paving work has been postponed while crews clean up after these recent rains.
