The northbound ramp between Route 128 and I-95 remains closed at this hour after a UPS tandem tractor-trailer carrying commercial ink cartridges to Portland, Maine turned over this morning and spilled several hundred gallons of non-hazardous ink. As the truck turned over, Channel 5 reported, a guard rail punctured the ink containers inside it. In order to fully clean the spill, 500 feet of the road has to be replaced. The ramp will be closed until the spill is fully cleaned, the State police said. The driver was not hurt in the one-vehicle crash. The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection is supervising the cleaning process. [WCVB], [Globe]
