A burned semi blocks traffic on northbound I-94 Wednesday.

Northbound lanes of I-94/41 reopened about 11:50 a.m. Wednesday after they were closed for most of the morning at Oakwood Road because of a semi fire.

All lanes of northbound I-94/41 had been closed from County Highway G near the Racine/Milwaukee counties line to Oakwood Road because of the fire, which was reported about 7:25 a.m.

One lane was eventually opened to begin clearing traffic congestion and the other two lanes reopened just before noon after the cleanup was finished.

The two southbound left lanes that had been closed to accommodate emergency vehicles reopened earlier Wednesday morning.
