All traffic going east was stopped for a time, but one lane of the westbound span was opened to eastbound traffic around 8 p.m.
Just before 8:30 p.m., vehicles stuck on the eastbound span at the time of the crash were allowed to clear the bridge by squeezing by the crash.
Maryland Area Transportation Operations Coordination reported delays for miles in both eastbound and westbound spans.
Below is the area of the crash.
