A crash on the exit ramp from southbound Interstate 294 to eastbound Interstate 290 may affect Wednesday morning commutes.

A semi truck carrying 41,000 pounds of apples rolled over on the exit ramp about 5:45 a.m., Illinois State Police said.

The ramp is blocked as crews work to clear the scene and traffic is squeezing by on the left shoulder, according to the Tollway’s Twitter page.
