Both directions on the Ship Canal Bridge reopened after a crash involving multiple cars early Sunday morning, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.

James Poling, a spokesperson with WSDOT, said both directions are open at the Ship Canal Bridge after two crashes early Sunday morning. Northbound Interstate 5 was temporarily closed, and the southbound lanes were partially blocked due to the crash, causing a back-up.

WSDOT said around 4 a.m. Sunday, all lanes of northbound Interstate 5 were blocked north of State Route 520 because of a crash on the Ship Canal Bridge. The left three lanes of southbound I-5 were closed at the same location on the Ship Canal Bridge because of a crash that took place shortly after the northbound crash happened.

Drivers who traveled downtown around 5 a.m. were expected to find alternative routes and plan for delays. The suggested routes included State Route 520 (toll across Lake Washington) or State Route 99 across the Ship Canal. People who traveled through the Seattle metro from the south were advised to use I-405 around the east side of Lake Washington or the SR 99 tunnel (toll) through downtown Seattle.

The lanes reported as of 7 a.m. Sunday.

Most people don't think much about police cars, but we know from speaking with them that cops absolutely have thoughts on them. Many aren't fans of the newer models, in particular the SUVs which have come to dominate quite a few departments. They feel the old Ford Crown Victorias were far superior for pursuits and other law enforcement duties, something we think might puzzle the general public.

Japanese authorities seeking to reduce the carbon footprint and overcrowding at Mount Fuji will propose a trackless, rubber-tyred tram system made by China's CRRC to transport climbers, a person with direct knowledge of the plan said. Yamanashi Prefecture, home of the most popular route used by climbers of the 3,776-metre (12,3388-foot) volcano, is set to announce the plan soon, the person told Reuters, asking for anonymity because the information is not yet public. Mount Fuji, which straddles Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Japan, whose numbers have surged in recent years.
