Fairfax County firefighters responded to the fire in the southbound lane of the interstate just before 5 p.m. near the exit for Arlington Boulevard (Route 50), the Virginia Department of Transportation tweeted. All southbound lanes were shut down near that exit as fire crews worked to put out the fire and tow the truck away.
Officials opened two lanes of the Capital Beltway around 6:30 p.m., but firefighters asked commuters to avoid this area and expect heavy delays. Express lanes remained open.
