Overnight, an update from the Cherry City Volunteer Fire Company said all hazardous materials were mitigated but the bridge will remain closed until the truck is righted and removed.
“The bridge will remain closed for an extended period of time as the environmental clean up crews begin removing the remaining hazardous material,” Cherry City VFC said.
