Officials temporarily closed the exit ramp from I-12 East onto O’Neal Lane Tuesday night after a chemical spilled onto the roadway around 7 p.m.
DOTD announced the ramp was reopened just before 3 a.m. Wednesday morning.
According to the Baton Rouge Fire Department, the small chemical spill that occurred on the exit ramp was not a danger to the public.
Firefighters said the ramp would remain closed until cleanup crews arrived and offloaded/adjusted the remaining containers to access the container that leaked.
The chemical, which was identified as a corrosive called Muratic Acid, was enroute to Akers when the driver looked in her mirror and noticed a leak, according to the fire department.
