SEATTLE — All southbound lanes of Interstate 5 have reopened just north of Interurban Avenue in Tukwila after a semi-truck rolled over and crashed Monday afternoon.

The roadway was closed for about three hours, reopening about 3:30 p.m.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Rick Johnson said on social media that the crash caused oil and diesel to leak onto the roadway.

Expect significant delays if attempting to travel through Tukwila on SB I-5. As of 2:25 p.m., the backup had reached 6 miles long, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
