A major artery in Cobb County is back open after a tractor-trailer tipped over and spilled its contents next to the interstate, officials said.
The big rig turned over on I-285 eastbound at the exit ramp to I-75, according to the Georgia State Patrol. The truck spilled trash and debris on and near the road.
No injuries were reported.
Troopers, a HERO unit and large wreckers responded to the scene to clean up the wreckage, GSP said.
All but one lane was blocked while authorities investigated the wreck, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. The big rig was moved to the right shoulder and all lanes reopened about 1 p.m.
**UPDATE** Big rig crash cleanup now on right shoulder. All lanes of ramp are open. Delays remain. https://t.co/YULjFukFkK #ATLtraffic https://t.co/xHWSTGUiC0
