SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 24, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — Drivers are facing delays Wednesday afternoon as all ramps to eastbound Intrastate 80 are closed due to a semi rollover.

A tweet from Utah Highway Patrol at 4:10 p.m. said the rollover is at Interstate 15 southbound to I-80 eastbound.

“All ramps to eastbound I-80 are closed to include I-15 northbound, I-15 southbound and SR-201 collectors,” the tweet said. “Getting reports of a grass fire, but the fire on the semi has been put out.”

The semi is showing a 1.4 placard for explosives, which generally shows explosives with a major fire hazard, the tweet said, but the “trailer just has a small amount of commercial blasting caps inside. Hence, the need for the placard. No threat to the public.”

Gephardt Daily will have more on this developing story as information is made available.
