The Ohio Department of Transportation says the new diverging diamond interchange at Interstate 75 and County 99 is still set to open on the afternoon of Monday, November 17, despite a semi crashing and catching on fire underneath the County Road 99 overpass on Wednesday.

The Highway Patrol said the semi was traveling northbound Wednesday night around 6:30 when it suffered an equipment failure, went off the right side of the highway, and came to rest underneath the County Road 99 overpass.

The driver was able to get out of the semi as it caught on fire, and the flames came into contact with the bridge.

ODOT said the fire caused some minor surface damage to the bottom of the bridge, but not significant enough to affect the structural integrity of the bridge.

ODOT said its Office of Structural Engineering has approved the opening of the bridge and new interchange for the afternoon of Monday, November 17 as planned.
