Interstate 165 is expected to be partially closed until next week, after a semi-truck spilled containers containing molten aluminium all over the road.

The accident occurred on the 27th of June in Daviess County, Kentucky at the Fairview Drive Overpass on I-165.

TriStateHomepage reports that the truck lost its load of aluminum molten in the northbound lanes on I-165. This made the road nearly impassable. The cause of this accident has not yet been revealed. The truck driver was taken for evaluation to a hospital nearby.

Crews are working to clear the containers which held the aluminum. Once the containers are cleared, road crews scrape off the aluminum and lay a base so that traffic can flow. The road will be rough but the temporary fix allows for a partial opening.

The road will undergo a repaving next week, which is expected to last two days.
