Interstate 76 was closed in both directions near the Central Interchange and Kenmore Boulevard as a precautionary measure for a suspicious item found by police and fire crews Tuesday morning. The road reopened shortly after 11:30 a.m.
The bomb squad responded to the scene for a "suspicious item," which was later determined to be a barrel. It has since been cleared from the road and is not a threat, according to the city.
Crews are still in the area, and the exits to Main Street from I-76 will be temporarily closed but should reopen momentarily. The same goes for Main Street from South Street to Thornton Street.
