A diesel spill blocked all lanes of northbound Interstate 405 at Coal Creek Parkway on Sunday morning, the Washington State Department of Transportation announced.
WSDOT first tweeted about the incident at 3:40 a.m. Around 6:30 a.m., a Washington State Patrol trooper confirmed that the incident was a diesel spill.
At 7:19 a.m., WSDOT said crews were at the scene but cleanup of the incident was “expected to take a while.”
At 1:13 p.m., WSP said that the right two lanes had reopened, but the left two would remain closed for several more hours.
The right two lanes are now open. The left two lanes will remain closed for several more hours for continued clean up. Use caution through the area. CK
