A hay bale fire has closed the northbound lanes of Interstate 295, causing major backups on both 95 North and Southbounds. Officials had stated that they expect 295 to reopen around 4 pm.
Can I ask where there are bales of hay along 295?? I have never seen them, but then maybe I am not paying attention.
Update: Oh, a truck spilled the bales of hay onto the roadway, and then somehow the hay burst into flames. Here is an image courtesy of the News Journal:
That looks like manure to me. And it is steaming. Thank God I live upwind.
