Multiple lanes on Interstate 405 (I-405) heading north are closed near Coal Creek Parkway after a multi-car collision.

According to the Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) traffic cameras, the multi-car collision caused a truck to flip over on that stretch of I-405 highway near Coal Creek Parkway.

“The right lane is back open on northbound I-405 near Coal Creek,” the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) reported on X. “Two left lanes are still blocked after a collision involving multiple vehicles. Please consider alternative routes, traffic is significant.”

All northbound lanes were closed until approximately 5:40 a.m. when WSDOT was able to open the right lane. There is no timeline for how long the other lanes will be shut down for, as of this reporting.
