UPDATE: I-10 East is now open after being closed Tuesday following an 18-wheeler fire near Henderson.

Traffic was previously being diverted from I-10 East onto I-49 North and then on to US 190 East.  It is still unclear if there were any injuries associated with this fire.

There is no congestion.
