Lanes reopen after oil spill shuts down Connector ramp in Atlanta

Lanes reopened Tuesday afternoon after an vegetable oil spill shut down a busy interstate ramp on the Downtown Connector in Atlanta on Tuesday.

The ramp from I-20 to I-75/85 north was shut down for several hours due to an overturned truck that spilled vegetable oil on the ramp, Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Cortez Stafford said.

No injuries were reported.
