The fire, part of a crash that killed two people, damaged the pavement at the scene just east of the 8th Avenue exit in Jamestown Township. The semi carrying petroleum flipped, and a car crashed into it.
MDOT says the delay in reopening the westbound lanes is due to repairs required to the bridge at the scene.
The detour issued by MDOT is to exit at Wilson Avenue, go north to Rivertown Parkway, use the Michigan turn to get onto westbound Rivertown Parkway, which becomes 44th Street, and enter I-196.
