NEWHALEM — The Washington Department of Transportation says a rock slide has blocked both lanes of the North Cascades Highway at the Skagit-Whatcom county line.

Crews have been sent to the slide area on State Route 20 and will be able to estimate when the road might be reopened once they assess the problem.
