A tractor-trailer overturned on I-70, causing eastbound lanes to be shut down near the connector.

The interstate was back open by 5:30 a.m. Wednesday. However, the right lane of the eastbound ramp to the Highway 63 connector remained closed.

Traffic was being detoured at Rangeline Road, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.

A snowplow crew responded at 7 a.m. to continue treating roads.

This came after overnight snowfall accumulating to about an inch. The MoDOT traveler map showed Columbia roads as partly covered on Wednesday morning.
