Travelers who use Washington Highway 14 in the Bingen area will need to add extra time into their trips early next week. During work to stabilize two separate slopes located along the north side of Highway 14 just west of the Chamberlain Lake Rest Area, Washington State Department of Transportation contractors discovered several large rock blocks that are too dangerous to be scaled by hand, and must be scaled and removed using a mechanical scaler. Beginning Monday and continuing through Wednesday, travelers in both directions of Highway 14 near Bingen can expect multiple, 45-minute-long roadway closures 7 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. for rock scaling work. Closures will begin at the top of each hour, with a 15 minute window to clear stacked-up traffic. Once rock scaling work is complete, travelers can expect weekday, daytime, single- and double-lane closures with 20-minute delays for the duration of the project, which is expected to be completed this summer.
