Major US Road Closures and Crashes This Weekend

Major road closures and construction projects are affecting drivers across the U.S. this weekend, with significant disruptions in several states. In Washington, I-5, SR 167, and SR 18 will see closures and lane reductions, coinciding with large events. Minnesota's Twin Cities area faces full closures on I-494 and Hwy 5 and restrictions on Hwy 212 and Hwy 55 for repairs. Southbound I-605 in Whittier, California, will be reduced to one or two lanes as part of a $260 million rehabilitation project. Additionally, a semi-truck crash with an oversized load closed I-35 in Kansas City pending bridge inspections, I-75 southbound in Atlanta is fully shut due to a crash, and a fatal wreck occurred on Beltway 8 in Houston. Motorists are urged to expect delays, check for detours, and plan routes accordingly.
