A semitrailer truck hauling turkeys rolled over in Mounds View early this morning blocking the ramp from eastbound Hwy. 10 to southbound Interstate Hwy. 35W.
Traffic in the area is heavy, especially on eastbound Hwy. 10 where backups to Hwy. 65 are being reported, said Jake Martin of the Regional Transportation Management Center.
Southbound Interstate Hwy. 35W is backed up from Hwy. 10 to Lexington Avenue in Circle Pines, Martin said.
Crews are on the scene cleaning up the accident, which happened about 1:10 a.m. Martin said the ramp will likely be closed for "quite some time." As of 8:30 a.m., the cleanup was continuing.
Elsewhere on the system, traffic is moving swiftly and levels are a tad lighter due to the observance of the Veteran's Day holiday.
