A southbound ramp on I-5 in Seattle has reopened after traffic was completely blocked during morning commutes Wednesday following a semi-truck accident.
Both the southbound I-5 ramp to James Street and the southbound I-5 on-ramp from Spring Street were closed after a semi-truck got stuck, according to the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
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
