SEATTLE - Northbound lanes of Highway 99 were backed up
more than three miles along the Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle on
Friday after a truck got stuck in a tunnel.
Police said the oversize truck became stuck just after 11 a.m.
in the Battery Street tunnel. It was finally cleared more than two
hours later after workers backed it out to an exit off the
waterfront viaduct.
Traffic was jammed on the upper roadway of the viaduct, and
along the surface-level of Highway 99 to the Spokane Street
viaduct, three miles to the south.
