CLALLAM COUNTY, Wash. – A mudslide blocked SR 112 in both directions near Rasmussen Creek in Clallam County on Wednesday afternoon.

The Department of Transportation said about 3,000 cubic yards of material slid across the roadway, and as of 6:15 p.m. the slide was still moving.

DOT was working with Washington State Patrol and local law enforcement. The road was to remain closed overnight.

Crews will reassess the slide in the morning and determine whether operations to reopen the roadway can safely begin.
