Why Crashes at Major Interchanges Often Cause Widespread Delays
Interchanges where two major highways connect often carry heavy traffic volumes throughout the day. When a serious crash occurs in these areas, lane closures can affect vehicles in multiple directions.
Southbound and northbound traffic may both experience backups if access ramps or connecting lanes are blocked. Even a single lane closure at a busy interchange can lead to miles of congestion.
Clearing a fatal crash scene can take time due to documentation and roadway cleanup. As a result, delays may continue well after the initial collision is reported.
