Key Points:
- Floodwaters from the Naches River caused significant damage to Highway 12, washing away over 300 feet of pavement and guardrail.
- The road was closed last week, and drivers are advised to use a detour in the Naches area until repairs are finished.
- WSDOT crews have begun repair work, including constructing a buttress to block the river, rebuilding the embankment, and backfilling the highway with gravel.
- The contractor is working seven days a week to complete repairs, with the road expected to reopen by early January.
