Interstate 275 eastbound was closed around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday evening to allow emergency responders to contain and put out a vehicle fire.
The location of the fire was on the I-275 eastbound overpass above Dixie Highway just before approaching exit 82 to KY 1303 (Turkeyfoot Road).
The structure was inspected and sustained no damages from the fire.
However, the eastbound right lane will be closed overnight due to road surface damage as a result from the fire.
District 6 crews will be out early Thursday morning to begin patching the damages with the goal of having the lane back open by the evening commute.
