The eastbound lanes of Interstate 40 reopened Sunday, the Arizona Department of Transportation said, after being closed near Holbrook after a freight train derailment Friday near the Arizona-New Mexico line.
Motorists are advised to expect long delays through the area even so, the department said in a news release.
On the New Mexico side, Interstate 40 was closed at Grants.
No injuries were reported in the derailment Friday of the BNSF Railway train, including rail cars that were carrying non-odorous propane and caught fire. The cause of the derailment is under investigation.
