SEATTLE - Northbound lanes of Highway 99 were backed up more than three miles along the Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle on Friday after a truck got stuck in a tunnel.

Police said the oversize truck became stuck just after 11 a.m. in the Battery Street tunnel. It was finally cleared more than two hours later after workers backed it out to an exit off the waterfront viaduct.

Traffic was jammed on the upper roadway of the viaduct, and along the surface-level of Highway 99 to the Spokane Street viaduct, three miles to the south.
