The Washington State Department of Transportation has lifted restrictions on semi-truck traffic through the Columbia River Gorge.

According to a WSDOT alert, as of 6:20 Friday morning state Route 14 is open to all traffic between Evergreen Boulevard near Washougal and Dallesport.

Earlier this week, weather conditions led to several disabled trucks on SR-14. On Thursday afternoon, all vehicles more than 10,000 GVW were prohibited in both directions on that stretch of roadway.

A list of the latest road closures and restrictions is available on the WSDOT traffic alerts web page.
