A semi-truck stuck on the Spring Street to southbound I-5 ramp in downtown Seattle blocked traffic during Wednesday’s morning commute.
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, the southbound I-5 ramp to James Street and the southbound I-5 on-ramp from Spring Street were closed as crews worked to remove the disabled semi.
Drivers were told to expect delays and seek alternate routes downtown.
“Restrictive signs have a purpose!” wrote Washington State Patrol Trooper Rick Johnson.
By 7:20 a.m., the collision had cleared, and the ramp was reopened.
CLEARED: This collision on the SB I-5 on-ramp from Spring Street has cleared. The SB I-5 ramp to James St. is back open, and all roads are clear. https://t.co/ygkJ2lwi0f
