A tractor-trailer hit a highway overpass along Interstate 70 in western Boone County on Tuesday afternoon.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol posted on social media about the crash at the 121-mile marker at Midway a little after 3:30 p.m. The patrol says there's a partial collapse with a 6-to-10-foot section of concrete on the road blocking traffic.

Specialized bridge inspectors are on their way to the crash, a Missouri Department of Transportation spokesperson said.

The highway patrol said all lanes of Interstate 70 were open at about 4:15 p.m.
