A semitruck hauling an “oversize load” collided with an Everett bridge on Monday, stopping traffic heading northbound out of the city.
Washington State Department of Transportation cameras show the truck hauling something that struck the supports of the Snohomish River Bridge on State Route 529.
On SR 529 northbound at Snohomish River Bridge there is a collision blocking all lanes.

The load was moved off the bridge around 3:30 p.m., and the bridge was reopened a short time later.
The oversized load is now off the northbound SR 529 bridge in Everett, but the structure will remain closed until we can conduct a thorough inspection. pic.twitter.com/MxFYiRlUkd

Good news, the northbound SR 529 bridge has reopened. Once the truck cleared we checked the bridge and determined we could reopen it. pic.twitter.com/IoKSX7Jz6m
