Truck fire forces shutdown of part of Interstate 80/35

February 5, 2018 By Matt Kelley

A fire in a semi trailer closed Interstate 80/35 in Des Moines for a time this morning.

One of Iowa’s busiest stretches of interstate was closed this morning due to a hazardous materials incident.

Interstate 80/35 in Des Moines was shut down in both directions around 8 a.m. as emergency crews responded to the report of a semi with smoke coming from the trailer. There were concerns about chemicals inside the trailer.

The interstate was fully reopened to traffic around 10:45 a.m. and there were no reports of injuries in the incident.
