LITTLE ROCK — Both eastbound and westbound lanes at Interstate 40 near the 201 mile marker have reopened following a Thursday morning wreck and fire in a construction zone.
Arkansas State Police dispatchers said it happened about 6 a.m. at the 201 mile marker, which is near the White River bridge just west of the Highway 33 exit.
The interstate was shut down in both directions for several hours. The westbound lanes were reopened after 10:30 a.m., but eastbound remained closed at 11:30 a.m., dispatchers said.
Eastbound traffic was being detoured at exit 193 to Highway 70 until all lanes were reopened.
Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said all injuries in the crash were minor and every person involved has been treated and released.




the backup for this was awful. we sat in it for 2 hrs. another driver said he had been in it for 4 hrs before he could get to the detour....the trailer burned beyond repair (saw it myself) the story was a Celadon and a car got into it in the construction and the truck caught fire...i cant find anything else????

Giggles as I read the post I found what I didnt want to find.....Construction Zone_18 wheeler_Crash. No bueno for proffesional drivers everywhere.
