State Route 527 will have its center lane closed nightly from 9 p.m. Monday to 12 a.m. Thursday, while SR 203 will see one lane closed nightly Sunday through Friday mornings for paving. SR 96 will alternate traffic daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., and SR 20 will alternate traffic from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on specific days. SR 155 remains closed indefinitely due to a wildfire between Nespelem and Omak.
