All eastbound lanes were closed about a mile west of Lake Point, according to the highway patrol. The freeway reopened about 1:30 p.m., but drivers in the area should still expect some residual delays, according to the Utah Department of Transportation.
People can also use state Route 201 as an alternate route, UDOT said.
