| Not WS but we're mentioning it anyway | Transportation

WSDOT has sent a bulletin about trouble on southbound I-5 through downtown, blocking three lanes just south of the West Seattle Bridge exit, currently causing a SEVEN-MILE-LONG backup. So if you happen to be reading this from points north, avoid I-5 TFN. 1:37 PM UPDATE: The crash scene is cleared but the backup is 9 miles and will probably take a while to thin out, so we’d still suggest alternate routes.

I just looked at some of the cameras and things don’t look that bad through donwtown.

Roanoke looks ugly. Not that I-5 is ever really PLEASANT …

I can see this piece of I-5 and it looks fine now with traffic moving smoothly.

Sorry, comment time is over.
