It took hours to clean up on Eastbound 490 just outside of downtown where a tractor-trailer loaded with scrap metal rolled over and dumped its load about 2:00 Monday afternoon.
490 East was closed from the Inner Loop to Goodman Street. Police had to divert traffic off 490 East at the South Avenue-Inner Loop exit….and it just inched through downtown Rochester as drivers tried to work their way out eastbound roads like Monroe Avenue.
There was heavy traffic on all those roads and in downtown Rochester as the cars tried to work their way from the Inner Loop back to the 490.
Cleaning up the crash took until evening.
