An oil tanker rolled over Thursday morning in Aurora, spilling roughly 500 gallons of diesel fuel onto an I-70 overpass at North Chambers Road.

The Aurora Fire Department and an environmental cleanup company worked to clean up the spill, police Sgt. Bill Hummel said in a video message. In the video, a large tanker is shown on its side, next to a traffic light.

Chambers Road was closed between 40th and 38th Avenues in both directions, Hummel said. The off-ramp from I-70 to Chambers Road also was closed.

At about 6:30 p.m. Thursday all lanes reopened, police said.
