VIDEO: A historic highway east of the Valley fully reopened Thursday afternoon after a semi-truck got stuck on a bridge earlier this week. According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, a Dollar General Truck became stuck on State Route 88, at the Fish Creek Bridge, just east of Tortilla Flat on Tuesday. A
As a result, it forced the closure of the highway commonly known as the Apache Trail. Authorities said the truck had trouble making a tight turn on the windy roads, and crews had to get a backhoe to help shift the semi into the correct position. Once they had the right equipment in place, they were able to get the truck back on the road and moving smoothly. No injuries were reported.
