I-10 reopens at Loop 202 after semi-truck fire shuts down freeway

PHOENIX — Westbound Interstate 10 has reopened hours after being closed during Tuesday’s evening rush hour due to a semi-truck fire, the Arizona Department of Transportation said.

The eastbound lanes remained open, but there was a slowdown in the area.

The fire originally closed the roadway at Ray Road but that was later moved to the Loop 202.

Even though I-10 has been reopened at Loop 202, motorists may still experience delays in the area.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.
