On Tuesday night, northbound Interstate 5 was closed ten miles north of Redding. I-5 was also closed three miles south of Dunsmuir in Siskiyou County and south of Ashland, Oregon.

By Wednesday morning, those closures were lifted. However, I-5 was completely shut down between Redding and Yreka due to multiple crashes. By 11:00 a.m. the southbound lanes were open, but Caltrans said the northbound lanes were still closed.

Most highways have been reopened but there are still winter weather advisories and drivers are encouraged to check local road conditions before traveling.
