A leaking chemical container was found to pose little hazard after it was found Wednesday morning in the southbound lanes of Interstate 29 just north of Gateway Drive in Grand Forks.
The 250-gallon tote was reported to the North Dakota Highway Patrol around 10:30 a.m. after likely falling from a vehicle. Patrol officers arrived and found the container's cover dislodged and some contents spilled.
An assessment by the Grand Forks Fire Department determined the contents were agricultural chemicals, according to a news release. The department coordinated a cleanup, which closed the southbound entrance ramp of I-29 at Gateway Drive until completed.
No injuries were reported, and the driver who dropped the tote remains unknown.
