Update, 3:30 p.m.: Both lanes of the Seward Highway have been reopened, police said in a statement, after multiple vehicles involved in the wreck were towed away. Southbound traffic was reported as backed up to the Rabbit Creek area, and police said to expect delays for "several more hours."
Original story: The Seward Highway is closed at Mile 113, near McHugh Creek, due to a multiple-vehicle crash, according to the Anchorage Police Department.
