Headed northbound on SR 99 this weekend? You might want to try an alternate route.

1. Thanks for the head up

I sure wish there had been some signage on Thursday afternoon as we were heading westbound on I-90, all at once, Interstate was closed at Vantage. No warning at all, just closed. State Troopers parked on side of the road were giving NO traffic direction. Truckers parked all along the interstate - it was a total mess. No one knowing where to go. They finally said we had to detour to Wenatchee and go all around and back up to Ellensburg. What a cluster! traffic miles long zig zagging through the desert, 100 extra miles out of our way and with a car full of dogs.

Seems there was an oil tanker leaking on the Vantage bridge all over the westbound lanes. GRRRRRRRR
