PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI/AP) - An exit ramp on I-95 Northbound has been reopened hours after a tractor trailer rolled over.

State Police opened the Thurbers Avenue exit in Providence shortly before noon Wednesday after removing the truck, which rolled over on the on-ramp around 7:30 a.m.

"The curb is famous, not just in Rhode Island, but all through New England. People know, the truck drivers know, that it's an issue over there," said truck driver, Paul Bilsky.

The accident has tied up highway traffic, and officials recommend drivers take Route 10 as an alternate route.

No injuries were reported.
