Bolt Creek Fire continues to burn, US 2 closed again just days after reopening
U.S. 2 is once again closed in the Skykomish area as crews continue to battle the Bolt Creek Fire.
Crews closed the highway between mileposts 49 and 50 at about 2 p.m. Sunday, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
Drivers using westbound Interstate 90 as an alternate route are advised to expect heavy weekend traffic.
Officials had previously reopened 4 miles of U.S. 2 between mileposts 46 and 50, which is between Northeast Old Cascade Highway and Skykomish, with reduced speed limits on Thursday.
