UPDATE 10pm: all lanes of southbound I-5 have been opened.

UPDATE 5pm: Two lanes of southbound I-5 are now open.

Two lanes of southbound I-5 in DuPont reopened at about 5pm today. The Mounts Road off-ramp will also reopen. The speed limit will be 45 mph through the area for safety.

The right lane will remain closed while we continue to make repairs and hope to have it open by Thursday morning.

Please be cautious once the highway reopens. We often see collisions in reopening situations and that would obviously impact traffic. Work together and be patient.

We appreciate everyone's patience as we've worked to get I-5 back open.
