The westbound lanes of Interstate 94 near the St. Croix River reopened to traffic just before 8 a.m. Thursday, after being closed for a couple of hours in the wake of a semi rollover crash.

Minnesota Department of Transportation reported

 just after 6 a.m. Thursday that the westbound lanes were closed near the St. Croix rest area due to the crash. Traffic cameras showed westbound traffic being diverted off the freeway at the State Highway 95 / St. Croix Trail exit, with a traffic jam stretching back across the river and into Wisconsin.

Just before 8 a.m., traffic cameras showed westbound traffic flowing once again — slowly. There were some lingering travel delays in the area.

The State Patrol said the crash is under investigation but did not immediately offer further details. It happened along a stretch of freeway with lane and ramp closures already in place due to an ongoing resurfacing project.
