GOLD BAR — State work crews plan to close U.S. 2 east of Gold Bar for up to an hour Wednesday morning to remove a giant concrete panel that fell off a truck on Sunday.

At 8 a.m., crews will start alternating traffic at the Anderson Creek Bridge and then close both directions of the highway at 9 a.m. Following the closure, crews will alternate traffic for up to two hours. Crews will use two large tow trucks to remove the 56,000-pound panel.

No alternate routes will be available, said Meghan Pembroke, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Transportation.
