The Washington State Department of Transportation East (WSDOT East) recently released a video showcasing the dangerous and meticulous work being done to repair a rock slope on US 97 Blewett Pass. In the video, workers can be seen manually scaling loose rocks, then carefully throwing them down the hill to a safety fence below.

Describing the process as requiring "slow and steady effort," WSDOT East emphasized the importance of taking the necessary time to ensure the safety of both the workers and the traveling public. The agency also acknowledged that the repair work would result in extended closures of the roadway.

The workers involved in the operation are described as being specially trained and equipped with safety harnesses to avoid any potential accidents while working on the steep slope. Despite the challenges posed by the difficult terrain, the workers are seen diligently working to clear the loose rocks in order to prevent any potential hazards to drivers passing through the area.
