In an update to our earlier reports, one-lane (inside lane) of I-80 eastbound, west of Adair was temporarily re-opened at around 6:50-a.m. after being blocked for nearly 75-minutes following a semi tractor-trailer rollover accident at the 74.4-mile marker. The road was re-opened for a few minutes, but then shut-down again so a wrecker can remove the semi. Officials estimate the interstate will be closed for another 30-minutes. (Until about 7:30).

The accident was reported at around 5:30-a.m. Both lanes of the interstate eastbound are completely blocked. Authorities had been re-routing traffic south into Anita off I-80 at Exit 70 (Anita/Highway 148).

The International semi was hauling paper towels and other, non-hazardous materials. The 42-year old driver from Nebraska was being checked out by medics.

No other details are currently available.
