I-20 EB at Moreland Avenue reopens after crews put out fire under bridge

UPDATE: All lanes have reopened at Interstate 20

ORIGINAL STORY:

All lanes of Interstate 20 eastbound have been shut down at Moreland Avenue as crews work to put out a fire underneath a bridge.

The 24/7 WSB Traffic Center said all traffic is being diverted away from the area and parts of Moreland Avenue will be shut down as well.

Major traffic delays are building in both directions on I-20. It’s unknown how long the lanes will remain shut down.

We have a crew heading to the scene for updates on Channel 2 Action News Saturday AM.
