TACOMA, Wash. — A semi truck crash along Interstate 5 in Tacoma caused three-mile backups during the Monday morning commute.
According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, the collision happened just before 8 a.m. near Port of Tacoma Road, blocking the I-5 on-ramp.
By 9 a.m., the on-ramp was fully blocked, along with the right lane of I-5 northbound, causing a three-mile backup.
Drivers were told to use alternate routes and expect long delays through Tacoma and Fife.
Expect congestion on NB I-5 through Tacoma/Fife. The right lane and the ramp from Port of Tacoma Road is blocked for a semi-truck crash. This will take quite some time to clear. Current backup is 3 miles. pic.twitter.com/aO6DLDNsoZ
