    A tractor-trailer rollover on Interstate 495 southbound south of Interstate 93 is snarling the homebound commute for a number of drivers.
    Only one lane is open going south right now, and the road is backed up to Massachusetts Avenue in North Andover, said Jeff Larson, general manager of the SmartRoutes Systems traffic information service.

    Since the ramp from Interstate 93 onto Interstate 495 was closed for a period of time, Interstate 93 northbound is backed up to Dascomb Road, he said.
