Traffic on northbound I-5 at the Duwamish curves is finally moving again after a rollover semi blocked all lanes for much of the morning commute.

The semi was carrying diesel fuel and crews had to transfer 3,500 gallons of fuel to another tanker, before working to upright the truck.  This work took approximately four hours to complete.

Much of the backup has cleared and drives are now moving through the area.
