All lanes are open on I-75 South in Henry County after construction work related to Thursday’s fire forced lanes to again be closed Friday morning.

The right lane was repaired, Henry County police spokesman Capt. Mike Ireland said. A car fire initially shut down the interstate near Exit 218 about 5:15 p.m. Thursday.

It is unclear if anyone was injured in the incident.
