Crews reopened the eastbound lanes around 7 a.m. Thursday but had to close eastbound traffic due to a second crash in the eastbound lanes around 9 a.m.

Barboursville Police confirmed the crash in the eastbound lane involved a semi-truck carrying frozen food.

Traffic is being stopped by emergency dispatchers at the 29th Street exit in the eastbound lanes and the Barboursville exit in the westbound lanes.

Emergency officials are asking all drivers to avoid the area if possible.

Police say traffic along Route 60 is always very congested.

WVDOH released the following statement Thursday: “DOH is working with contractors and law enforcement to reopen the highway at the location of these crashes on Interstate 64. Once the fires are out, crews will be on site to assess damage to the roadway, wall and impact attenuator. We are currently working with lanes when “A timeline for reopening has not been determined. Delays are expected for Eastbound and Westbound passengers on I-64 due to the accident.”
