MACON, Ga. — A crash has closed the right lane of I-16 west in Macon-Bibb, but the road has since reopened, according to Georgia's Department of Transportation's 511 website.

They say it happened at around 12:24 p.m..

The crash closed the right lane. A 13WMAZ crew says that there is a fire truck on the scene, blocking the lane.

According to the website, traffic is backed up on I-16 west past Coliseum Drive.

While 511 originally said they expect the closure to end around 1 p.m., the website has since updated that anticipated end time, pushing it back.

It appears to have reopened at around 1:30 p.m.

While the crash has left one lane closed, drivers were still able to get by, and the Second Street exit appears to still be open.
