North Cascades Highway closing for the season Nov. 15
With winter just around the corner, the North Cascades Highway, also known as SR 20, is closing soon for the season.
The closure is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 15, but may close sooner depending on the amount of snow and ice that arrives.
Mid-November is generally when the pass closes for the winter as snow, ice and avalanche danger make it unsafe for drivers and maintenance crews to be in the area.
Typically the seasonal closure is done on a case-by-case basis, but for the first time WSDOT set a closure date to allow more time for travelers to plan.
