Traffic: Drivers encouraged to avoid I-40, near Reno, following crash

OKLAHOMA CITY – As storms continue to move through the metro, drivers may need to find an alternate route to work.

Early Friday morning, emergency crews were called to a semi-truck crash along the Oklahoma River Bridge, near I-40 and Reno.

As a result, troopers were forced to close down a lane of traffic along the interstate.

Officials say westbound I-40 is narrowed to one lane west of Reno Ave./ Scott St. in Del City due to the crash.

Officials say the lane closure is causing traffic to be backed up, which could still be an issue during rush hour.

Drivers are encouraged to find an alternate route, like I-240.
