Interstate 75 near Detroit is now back in business, with both northbound and southbound lanes open after a tanker crash last week closed 2 miles of freeway
. Northbound lanes reopened just after 1 p.m. Monday, while the southbound side was available Sunday afternoon. The freeway is now accessible between 8 Mile Road and I-696 in Oakland County.

No one was killed in the Wednesday night crash, when a car driver lost control driving too fast in a curve and hit a tanker truck hauling diesel and gasoline, according to published reports. The tractor and trailer separated, and the truck driver was treated and released from a local hospital.

The Detroit Free Press reports that crews have been working around the clock to resurface the freeway, after removing the 9 Mile Road overpass, half of which had collapsed in the fire. On the northbound side, officials found an oily residue that was removed using a chemical compound Monday morning.

About 100 feet of the southbound lanes were resurfaced, according to the paper, while about 450 feet of the northbound lanes needed repaving. Transportation officials had feared that the pavement had been so damaged it would need to be rebuilt completely, which would have taken weeks to finish. But testing showed the fire penetrated only an inch or two into the pavement, so the roadway only had to be resurfaced.

The damages of the crash may cost the state $2 million and takes the rest of the year to repair the 9 Mile overpass, according to the paper.
