An overturned tractor trailer could slow you down during your morning commute. The rollover happened just before 3 a.m. Friday along I-77 northbound on the ramp to I-90 eastbound near the E. 9th St. exit. The driver of the semi was transported to a local hospital. The driver’s name and condition were not immediately available.
#CLEtraffic There is an overturned tractor trailer on the ramp from I-77 NB to I-90 EB. A towing company will soon be working to remove the tractor, so the left lane heading 77 north is closed. Use caution in the area. Work to upright the trailer will take place after rush hour. pic.twitter.com/9oSJnuvBwb

I-77 northbound was closed just before 5 a.m. so crews could upright the truck’s cab. Traffic was being forced to exit at the E. 14th St. exit
All lanes I-77 north at I-90 are now closed as the tow company uprights the tractor. Motorists are being directed to exit the highway at East 14th St. #CLEtraffic
