UPDATE: It wasn’t a joke. We don’t tell you to detour for our enjoyment. Thanks to this semi blowing over, both directions of I90 are now closed.

What do ya know, it’s windy in Livingston again. If it’s not the snow, it’s the wind. As always during this time of year, leave a little extra time to get through the area. Westbound I90 from the 337-330 is closed. East bound is closed to high profile and towing vehicles.
