NORTH SALT LAKE — One lane of I-215 westbound is open again near Redwood Road after a box truck became lodged over a construction barrier, snarling morning commute traffic for several hours.

Crews were on scene early Wednesday working to right the truck and remove it. They estimated it could take until 7:30 a.m. or later to completely clear and reopen the road.
