I-95 Completely Closed for Tanker Rollover

A rollover at the Reading/Wakefield line forced a total shutdown of the interstate.

I-95 was completely shut down in both directions for about six hours after a tanker rollover at the Reading/Wakefield line, MassDOT said.

The interstate was closed from just before 3 a.m. to just after 9 a.m. No injuries were reported.

State and fire officials had to allow for personnel to clean the area and remove the tanker, which reportedly leaked on the highways.
