Editor’s update 7:30 PM: WSDOT says all lanes reopened at 7:15 PM but huge backups remained on all northbound lanes into Everett as well as side streets. No word on how many vehicles were damaged by the broken concrete panel.
Editor’s Update 5:15PM, Here’s a look at the WSDOT Map through Everett, Washington as of 5:15PM.
WSDOT said a concrete panel in the center lane of northbound I-5 lifted about three inches.
Two right lanes are closed just before the Snohomish River Bridge
Northbound I-5 traffic is backed up to the King-Snohomish County line as of 4:30 PM
Lanes will re-open once the asphalt patch is dry.
Traffic through Everett is a mess. Best to avoid if you can. Evergreen, Broadway and Colby are all crawling northbound.
