Southbound SR 529 at the Snohomish River Bridge, between Everett and Marysville, has reopened to traffic after a bridge malfunction shut down lanes earlier Friday morning.

According to the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT), one of the gates on the bridge was not operating. Just before 8:30 a.m., the bridge was reopened.

“All lanes of southbound SR 529 at the Snohomish River Bridge are now open from an earlier malfunctioning gate,” WSDOT reported on social media.
