The southbound lanes of Interstate 55 were closed Friday morning at Weber Road in Romeoville because of a truck fire.
Photos taken from the area showed a tractor trailer fully engulfed in flames.
Nothing like a truck fire to slow down traffic on 55 this morning. Insane! @nbcchicago pic.twitter.com/r0srBQVa4g — Alyssa Cicero (@alyssacicero) May 9, 2014
A couple of lanes reopened just before 7 a.m., but delays persisted in both directions. All lanes were reopened just before 8 a.m.
