All lanes are open again after a fuel truck tipped over on Interstate 75 northbound, causing a fuel spill Friday in Clayton County and temporarily blocking two lanes at Charles W. Grant Parkway.

The lanes reopened about 6:50 a.m., according to WSB's 24-hour Traffic Center.

Exit and entrance ramps at Charles W. Grant were blocked for more than two hours, but are open now.

Workers were able to get the truck upright early, and officials worked to clean the fuel spill.

Delays stretched back toward Highway 19/41.
