INDIANAPOLIS — A semitruck fire on the northeast side of Indianapolis shut down part of I-465 for nearly 5 hours Friday morning.

I-465 northbound was closed between 71st Street and I-69 but has since reopened.

A semitruck caught fire near the exit for I-69/Binford Boulevard. Firefighting efforts left a lot of water on the roadway that could be dangerous to drivers.
