The Missouri Highway Patrol has reopened both lanes of I-29 in far northwestern Missouri after clearing hazardous material from the roadway.

I-29 was closed from mile marker 99 to mile marker 107 due to a wreck involving a tanker truck carrying fuel. The truck overturned in a construction zone forcing the closure so crews could clean up the mess. The closure lasted just around four hours.

The patrol has reopened both the northbound and southbound lanes of I-29. The northbound passing lane has been reopened, with that stretch operating as a construction zone.
