Update: The exit ramp which had been shutdown at the Interstate 65/Interstate 85 interchange has been reopened.  For nearly seven hours, Montgomery Police closed the ramp after an 18-wheeler overturned, creating major Memorial Day weekend traffic delays. Traffic engineering crews assessed the structural integrity of the ramp before reopening.

The 18-wheeler overturned and was hanging off the I-65 South Mobile loop Saturday afternoon. Backed up traffic was rerouted to I-65 North all day.

Montgomery Police are investigating the cause of the turnover, but officers say preliminary investigations show speed may be a factor. According to the driver of the truck was not injured. This is a developing story, there will be more information as it becomes available.
