Two different Interstate closures were needed on Monday to salvage Semi-Trucks that were wrecked in last weeks round of icy and snowy conditions. Read Story Here.

The first closure was at Mile Marker one in Kentucky on Interstate 24. The semi-truck was raised nearly 100 feet and towed safely away. Then traffic began moving again between Paducah Kentucky and Metropolis Illinois.

The other closures was on Interstate 57. The real issue here was that a gas tank had been ruptured. It had to be cleared for rescue by the EPA before it could be towed. Like the first wreck, it was and traffic began moving again soon thereafter.
