LIBERTY LAKE, Wash. -- Highway speed cameras on I-90 in Liberty Lake and I-5 in Skagit County have been removed by the Washington State Department of Transportation.

WSDOT said once they close the on-ramp, they will focus on closing the right lane of eastbound I-90. After closing the on-ramp, the crews will install cameras.
