128 shut in Woburn when tanker truck rolls over

Update, 7:40 a.m., Tuesday: MassDOT reports all lanes in both directions are now open.

State Police shut the highway in both directions around 10 p.m. when a tanker with about 8,000 gallons of gasoline rolled over and began leaking. Fire and hazmat crews from across the area are staging in the Woburn Mall parking lot to try to control the leak.

This is totally the fault of that new pedestrian crosswalk with nice bricks, fancy lampposts and a curb extension. And the bike lane.

not to mention the no-hazardous-cargo signs..

Don't forget, the disallowing of hazardous cargo running through downtown is TOTALLY at fault here.
