All lanes of Interstate 35 have reopened in Round Rock following a fiery crash Tuesday between a dump truck and truck hauling a mobile home. All northbound lanes were cleared by 7 p.m., and southbound lanes opened about two hours later.

The crash happened about 2 p.m. in the southbound lanes between US 79 and RM 620. Authorities had to close down the northbound lanes after debris from the crash spilled into oncoming traffic.

To help move traffic around the crash site, the Texas Department of Transportation waived all tolls on State Highway 130 in both directions between U.S. Highway 290 and I-35 to the north near Georgetown. 

Tolls were also waived from State Highway 45 North in both directions from I-35 to SH 130.
