Vantage Bridge
« on: February 28, 2025, 03:20:08 PM »
Going to one lane each direction 24/7 starting Monday. Made for some long delays last year if you didn't time it right.

Bumping this thread.

I was stuck in stop-and-go traffic 7.5 miles back for an hour and fifteen minutes a few weeks ago on a Friday afternoon trying to get across. Expect it to be rough this holiday weekend.

Wonder if diverting north to Wenatchee or south through Yakima/Desert Aire (depending on final destination) makes sense. Particularly, the latter for heading to the Pullman area.

Wenatchee is closed this weekend too, better try the other direction

They've opened all lanes on the bridge for the holidays. Not  a problem early this morning

Friendly word of advice:

If you've got kids, make the bathroom break in E-burg. Even if they "don't have to go" ....that extra hour on the hill down to Vantage can change the scenario quickly- and there are no options, not even the roadside emergency pee break.

Don't ask me how I know.....

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Glad they opened it up to  lanes for the holidays. Its a real pain to be stuck in long backups. It would flow better if drivers would just commit to the lane open, and eliminate all the drivers that speed past folks who have already merged, and force their way in at the last minute.

They need to teach the zipper merge in this country.
