State Police Troop D said Interstate 10 near the Texas border is now completely open in both directions.

Workers were able to clear the overturned truck and its load faster than originally anticipated.  

Traffic on LA 109 and LA 12 remains heavy. Motorists are asked use caution in the area as traffic flow returns to normal.

That section of roadway was closed around 7 a.m. Sunday so that crews could work on uprighting a wrecked trailer truck.

The truck overturned Saturday afternoon near mile marker one.

According to State Police, the truck's driver only suffered moderate injuries.
