U.S. 2 has reopened to traffic after a two-day closure caused by flooding and avalanche danger.

WSDOT made the announcement at 4 p.m. The agency said three incident response teams will be stationed to respond quickly to stalls and collision.

Traction tires are required.

The two other major Cascade highway passes -- Snoqualmie and White -- remain closed by avalanche danger and water over the roadway.

Interstate 5 remains closed between Chehalis and Olympia by high water.
