The right two lanes of southbound Interstate 5 at the Spokane Street Bridge in Seattle were closed through the Friday commute and into late morning, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.
An expansion joint on the freeway came loose, and a bridge maintenance team closed the lanes to repair it, WSDOT said.
At 11 a.m., WSDOT announced on Twitter that the repair was complete and all lanes had been reopened.
The onramp at Spokane Street remained open during the lane closure, WSDOT said.
