Richmond Avenue at the West Loop and the southbound ramp from the 610 to the 59 are closed as hazardous materials first responders try to remove a tanker and its chemicals that split this morning (Friday, May 10) on the slick roadway.
ABC-13 is reporting that sodium bromide was one of the chemicals being transported, and crews were seen wearing their protective gear at the site — although traffic is being permitted in both directions on the West Loop.
Still, increasingly heavy congestion is reported in all directions on both the 610 and 59.
