The downtown freeway ramp that was engulfed in flames last Thursday night from a tanker explosion has reopened.

The ramp’s one lane wide and allows southbound drivers to go from 59 North to I-10 East. One of the lanes above the one mentioned, also sustained some damage but apparently that will not be fixed until more of the support beams are back up to code.

I’ve read that concrete for the 59/I-10 ramp was poured and striping has either been put down or will be as soon as the weather permits.
