MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A major highway in the western Twin Cities has reopened Thursday morning.

According to the state patrol, the commercial vehicle carrying a 368,000-pound tank lost its load shortly before 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The road was closed until early Thursday as officials worked to build a crane to lift the tank onto a new trailer.
