Pallet and spray foam block lanes on I-39 northbound, Bureau County IL


A large pallet and multiple containers of spray foam fell onto the northbound lanes of I-39 near mile marker 66.5. This created significant debris and blocked part of the road, causing a traffic hazard. Emergency responders are removing the debris, but some spray foam still covers about one third of a lane.
