I-205 wreck snarls traffic both ways

A collision on northbound Interstate 205 near the north end of the Glenn Jackson Bridge snarled traffic in both directions, starting the Friday morning commute off on an unwelcome note.

The accident occurred shortly before 6 a.m. and blocked multiple lanes on the bridge. More than an hour later, only the far right lane of traffic was getting by. All but the left lane was reopened at about 7 a.m. By then, the commute was terrible.

The sight of the collision across the freeway apparently caused southbound drivers to slow. Traffic was basically stopped all the way back to Highway 500. The northbound traffic jam was contained to the bridge.

Drivers could cut over and use Interstate 205. However, westbound traffic on Mill Plain Boulevard was closed just west of I-205 due to investigation of a fatal traffic accident. That investigation could last for several more hours. Drivers should use Highway 14 instead.
