The Iowa Department of Transportation reported Tuesday afternoon, that the inside lane of Interstate 80 westbound near Casey (Exit 83), is open to traffic. Both westbound lanes had been blocked due to an accident that happened Monday night, where an oversize load struck the bridge underpass.

Iowa DOT picture shows damage to the I-80 westbound concrete bridge support beams caused by an over-size/over-height excavator load hauled on a truck. The damage occurred late Monday night, just south of Casey.
