A semi hauling two trailers overturned north of the Watson-Mason interchange on I-57 northbound Thursday morning.

Watson Fire Chief Matt Kulesza said the incident occurred at 1:20am in the interchange construction zone. 

The overturned rig blocked the northbound roadway, so Illinois State Police and Watson fire crews diverted northbound traffic onto the closed lanes to keep traffic flowing.

The driver of the rig was not injured.

The rig was removed and travel was back to normal by mid-morning.
