HENRY COUNTY, Ga. — A hazardous material spill on Interstate 75 led to all lanes closing in both directions in Henry County late Thursday night into Friday morning.

Triple Team Traffic’s Mike Shields said the northbound lanes opened up around 4 a.m., and the rest of the lanes and exit ramps on the southbound side reopened around 6:15 a.m., according to Triple Team Traffic.
