UPDATE: 5:30 PM
The Nebraska Department of Transportation announced on Friday afternoon that a wreck caused a major slow-down and closure along westbound I-80 near Q Street. Motorists were asked to exit on L Street. Later in the afternoon, the lanes opened again, but clean up was still happening along the shoulders and drivers were asked to take the I-Q-L exit lanes along I-80 westbound.
Crash has cleared all lanes open. Left shoulder closed due to NDOT clean up. Traffic moving slowly thru. Expect some delay. pic.twitter.com/9o4GnkqtM9
