Eastbound lanes of Bluegrass Parkway reopen more than 12 hours after semi fire.

A part of the Bluegrass Parkway in Woodford County was closed for more than 12 hours Monday night into Tuesday morning following a tractor-trailer fire.

The incident happened around 10 p.m. near the 61.5 mile marker, where a trailer containing chromium-oxide caught fire, officials said.

The driver stopped under the Scotts Ferry Road overpass, which also caused the overpass to close so a bridge inspector can determine if it’s structurally sound, according to WKYT.

As crews cleaned up the mess from the fire, the portion of the Bluegrass Parkway was closed until around noon.

A detour was set up on U.S. 127 to Interstate 64.
