VIDEO: Just days after reopening, U.S. 2 is closed again because of the Bolt Creek Fire and evacuation orders have remained the same since Monday.
The wildfire has burned more than 11,000 acres so far and continues to spread.
Currently, U.S. 2 is closed for 4 miles between mileposts 46 and 50, which is between Northeast Old Cascade Highway and Skykomish. The highway closed again Monday night after only being reopened for a few days.
The good news is that the size of the closure is much smaller than it was when Highway 2 previously closed, and Stevens Pass is open. The first closure began on Sept. 10 when the Bolt Creek wildfire erupted. Hundreds of trees were damaged and some fell onto the road or were close enough to the highway to pose a threat. U.S. 2 did not reopen for two weeks.
