North Cascades Highway Reopens After Major Repairs

The North Cascades Highway finally reopened Sunday, June 14th — one of the latest reopenings on record — bringing relief to small towns that rely on summer tourism. After being shut down since December due to snow and avalanches, crews battled flooding and a major rockslide to rebuild sections from the ground up. With costs hitting $9–12 million and work done seven days a week, the road reopened just in time for the Fourth of July, potentially saving local businesses from closure. Drivers can expect some lingering construction equipment but no major delays — and remember to watch for wildlife returning to the road.
