This is the second traffic interference on I-90 due to snow that MDT has reported Wednesday. Westbound traffic was blocked on I-90 along Lookout Pass earlier Wednesday afternoon due to a snow slide.
MDT warned motorists to expect delays.
According to MDT, road conditions in western Montana are slush/scattered slush, snow-covered, and some areas of scattered snow and ice.
On Monday, Monida Pass along the Montana/Idaho border south of Dillon was closed due to high wind, blowing snow, poor visibility and drifting.
