Officials said that the bulk of the fire was knocked down before 7:30 a.m., but crews were still knocking down hotspots and were waiting for a truck to tow the tractor-trailer away. As of 9 a.m., the roadway was still shut down.
No injuries were initially reported. Traffic was temporarily diverted to MD-80 as crews worked to clear the scene.
The fire remains under investigation.
