Officials will have vent the gas from an overturned truck in Elk Grove on Tuesday afternoon, so people in the area are told to expect a large plume to arise from the situation, crews said.

The truck, carrying liquid nitrogen, crashed near Highway 99 -- prompting the closure the highway's ramps and Sheldon Road.

Officials aren't able to offload the gas.

The Elk Grove Police Department plans to send out a Reverse 911 call to let people in the area know about the venting gas.

Ramps will likely be closed past 5 p.m., crews on scene told KCRA 3.

There is no immediate threat to public safety. The tanker is not leaking.

The Cosumnes Fire Department and the Sacramento Fire Department are handling the call.

Elk Grove officers are warning drivers to expect traffic delays along the busy roadway and highway.

The venting will take about two hours to complete, fire officials said. The vapor is nontoxic, nonflammable, and poses no hazards to the public or environment, Cosumnes Fire posted on its Twitter page.
