A rockslide with boulders as big as refrigerators closed Washington state's principal commercial east-west highway, but state transportation officials hoped to have at least one lane in both directions open by Tuesday.

Unlike a slide in September, the one that happened before dawn Sunday on Interstate 90 caused no injuries. The mountainside remained unstable, with additional rock expected to come tumbling down onto the road, transportation officials said.

Temperatures were near freezing and the area southeast of Seattle had about seven inches of snowfall the previous night.
