Both northbound lanes opening, they're going to try to get traffic moving. Please be very careful of all first responders out there.

Per Traveler Cynthia E.
NB is moving! We just passed the wrecked truck and sedan and several police cars. They’ve opened 1 Lane and are alternating between NB & SB. SB is backed up very far (the wrecked cars are in SB lane).

Tow truck on scene, they're blocking one of the lanes they'd had opened to load one of the vehicles. As soon as they get it cleared out (10-15min), they'll open that lane back up.
