The Indiana Department of Transportation reported a semi that caught on fire on the entrance ramp to westbound I-80/94 from northbound I-65 blocked the ramp for several hours this afternoon.
As a result of the closed ramp, all lanes northbound I-65 were backed up from at least 61st Ave. at the start of this afternoon’s rush hour. Motorists were seeking alternates to WB I-80/94 from NB I-65, including Ridge Rd. to Broadway to the Broman.
Shortly after 4pm CST, the ramp was reopened to traffic.
