At this time the I- 290 (Youngman Expressway) is closed to traffic in both the East and West directions at the main street exit due to a overturned tanker truck. It is unknown how long it will be closed.

it’s not gonna be a quick fix. They will probably need to empty the truck first into another tanker…then bring one or two cranes stationed on the 290 in to flip it up right. There’s no room on that bridge to do anything but work off of the road below.
i HIGHLY doubt it will be clear by 5.

So both Main and the 290 are closed. That’s gonna suck for rush hour.
EDIT:
You know, if you were just browsing google maps picking a spot to really fuck traffic up with an overturned tanker I don’t think you could do much better than closing main and the 290 in both directions with one truck.
