Earlier in Fayette County, police have closed the on-ramps to I-75 North and Southbound between Exit 115 (Newtown Pike) and Exit 104 (Athens Boonesborough Road) to allow state crews to work.
Motorists currently on I-75 will be allowed to proceed, however, if traffic exits the interstate, motorists will not be allowed back on. This condition will remain until further notice.
There are several crashes between 101 and 104 mile-markers on I-64. Both eastbound and westbound lanes are shut down right now.
