U.S. 31 Closure Update

Indiana State Police reported at 11:25 this morning that U.S. 31 remained closed to both northbound and southbound traffic between Michigan Rd. to the north and State Road 110 to the south. The closure is a result of the traffic accident that occurred yesterday between two semi-tractor trailers. One of the trucks involved was pulling a tank filled with liquid natural gas, specifically cryogenic liquid, which ruptured in the crash. State police say they cannot predict a time that the road will be re-opened, due to the nature of the spill.
