Lincoln Smith was indicted on 12 counts including seven counts of manslaughter and driving under the influence of intoxicants following the crash in May 2023.

The closures are part of WSDOT’s Revive I-5 work to replace concrete panels and expansion joints, resurface bridge decks, improve Ship Canal Bridge drainage and repair structural components on the bridge. Since 2019, the bridge has required more than 200 emergency repairs, and it was last resurfaced in 1985, according to WSDOT.

The state says the closure will last at least through the evening commute, and encourages motorists to seek other routes.

On Monday, bridge maintenance crews closed the Interstate 90 (I-90) west ramp in Seattle to Interstate 5 (I-5) north for “urgent expansion joint repairs,” according to WSDOT. WSDOT reported, at 4:20 p.m., the traffic backup is currently more than 4 miles.

The closure was in place beginning around 10:40 p.m. Sunday for southbound and northbound lanes of I-5 between Grapevine Road and Parker Road in Castaic. Officers were escorting and pacing traffic and snowplows were clearing the roadway on Sunday before the full closure.

A key stretch of Interstate 5 closed after a snowstorm swept through Southern California, Caltrans said. The California Department of Transportation closed the freeway around 12:15 a.m. Monday after snow and ice made the Grapevine impassable. “ I-5 will remain closed until the snow stops and the roadway is snow and ice-free,” Caltrans posted on X.
