VANCOUVER – The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) has reopened SR 14 to all traffic, except oversize loads are still restricted. Crews were able to take advantage of a break in the weather to plow snow and treat the roadway overnight, getting the pavement down to bare and wet conditions.

WSDOT continues to caution drivers to check their entire route before they venture out, and be prepared for winter weather driving conditions, as the weather can change at any time. Carry warm clothes, food, water and chains for your vehicles. Make sure you have a full tank of gas and fully charged cell phone.
