Emergency proclamation for Bullfrog Road overpass hit by truck, work starts tonight
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson has issued an emergency proclamation for the Bullfrog Road overpass that was hit by a semi-truck late Tuesday night.
The strike subsequently closed the westbound lanes of I-90 underneath the overpass at Exit 80, near Cle Elum.
The proclamation will allow the state to seek federal funding to start work more quickly, Ferguson stated on X.
