I-75 has reopened after a truck overturned and temporarily blocked all southbound lanes in Clayton County on Tuesday afternoon, police said.

Authorities closed the interstate just after 1:50 p.m. and started diverting traffic onto Upper Riverdale Road, according to a tweet from the Clayton County Police Department.

While I-75 South reopened about 2:30 p.m., heavy delays remain. The WSB 24-hour Traffic Center suggests drivers use Old Dixie Road, Ga. 54 or I-675 as alternate routes.
