Highway 2 – within Chiwaukum Complex
2:00 pm August 1, 2014. Restricted travel will continue on Highway 2, however; without pilot cars. Between the Tumwater Campground and Winton area, it will remain a 35 mph speed limit with no passing and no stopping. Passing lanes will be closed and marked by cones. Radar sensing signs will monitor speed and Law Enforcement will be in place to enhance the safe travel for visitors, residents, and firefighters alike.
Fire, emergency, and law enforcement vehicles will be working in the area. Please move over if you see an emergency vehicle with a flashing light bar.
All traveling fire personnel will travel Highway 2 at 35 mph and with hazard lights.
We anticipate today and the weekend will bring heavier traffic to this road. Having this road remain open will depend on fire behavior, any initial attack near the road, any medical emergencies, spot fires, and the traveling public's adherence to restrictions. At any time there is a safety issue to the public and/or fire personnel, the road will be closed and the detour through Chumstick will resume.
