SALT LAKE CITY — A truck carrying an oversized load clipped the bottom of an overpass at the 1700 East bridge on westbound I-80, causing heavy delays Wednesday afternoon.
The semitruck was blocking at least one right lane under the overpass, but had been dislodged by about 1 p.m., according to the KSL Traffic Center. The truck was moved off to the right side of the road.
After the incident, traffic was backed up from 1700 East to Foothill Drive, but by 3 p.m., traffic was moving normally, according to UDOT.
The on-ramp at 2300 East was also closed after the crash, but had reopened by 9 p.m.
It was not immediately clear if officials closed the 1700 East bridge due to the crash.
