A wave of motorists coming home on Sunday always seems to back up traffic on northbound Interstate 5 through Olympia.

But it might be a little more congested than usual after the left lane of traffic, just south of Lacey, was closed following a collision, according to the state Department of Transportation.

The left lane was blocked just before Exit 108 in Lacey about 3 p.m. Sunday.

The lane reopened to traffic about 3:30 p.m., the state Department of Transportation said.
