SALT LAKE CITY — All lanes of eastbound I-80 have reopened following a rollover crash near The Saltair, according to the Utah Department of Transportation.
Eastbound lanes of the freeway were closed Tuesday afternoon after a double-tanker semitruck rolled over just west of the Salt Lake-Tooele county border. The wreck caused the truck to spill a large amount of the salt it was hauling, according to Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Nick Street.

Traffic was diverted onto state Route 201 as crews worked to cleanup the mess. All but one lane was reopened by 4 p.m., according to UHP, and that lane was reopened soon afterward.
No other information about the crash, including possible injuries, was available Tuesday evening.
