Northbound Interstate 65 is closed down at the 72-mile marker, as of 5:30 p.m., between Columbus and Edinburgh due to a semi fire.

Dispatchers at the Bartholomew County Emergency Operations Center say that authorities hope to have at least one lane of traffic flowing again soon, but it will likely be several hours before the entire interstate is reopened. Authorities recommend you avoid the area by taking U.S. 31.
