GREENSBORO - Two of three lanes are now open on the Interstate 73 South bridge where a fuel tanker crash and fire has limited traffic since last week.
Flatiron Constructors, a contractor for the N.C. Department of Transportation, set a portable concrete barrier wall on Tuesday to block off the left lane and shoulder near the end of the bridge, where the crash caused the most damage.
With the barrier set, NCDOT opened the center lane to traffic. The right lane reopened on the night of the crash, last Thursday.
Work to make the left lane functional again is ongoing.
The department is waiting for test results that will indicate if the steel beams impacted the most by the fire need to be replaced, giving NCDOT a better idea of what the repair may cost and how long it will take.
It is hoped those results will be available sometime Wednesday.
Drivers are asked to be mindful of posted signage and use caution while crews continue to work in this limited-traffic corridor.
