The Washington State Department of Transportation says crews on Wednesday were able to successfully remove large portions of loose, unstable rock from a slope adjacent to Highway 14 about two miles east of Bingen, so they are cancelling upcoming blasting work that would have required 45 minute full highway closures.  Daytime travelers on Highway 14 will still need to plan for some delays throughout the fall.  Mondays through Thursdays until further notice, travelers in both directions going through the work zone should expect delays of up to 20 minutes from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Travelers should use caution and lower travel speeds through the area.  This work is part of a $1.6 million slope stabilization project scheduled for completion this fall.
