Two significant rock slides have prompted the Department of Transportation to assess the risk for more slides.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Jeremy Weber says there were reports of some larger rocks blocking the roadway.

Wet snow and rain are being blamed for destabilizing snow, which is leading to extended avalanche danger through the stretch of highway.

U.S. 2 reopened after crews from the Department of Transportation cleared 10 snow slides across the highway.

The project will require the closure of Easy Street on both the north and south sides of U.S. 2.
