VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. — Interstate 4 is back open in Volusia County after a long stretch was shut down Saturday night due to a brush fire.
- Massive brush fire shuts down I-4 in Volusia County
- Firefighters don't know what caused the fire
- I-4 in both directions has since been reopened
Emergency responders shut down a portion of I-4 from Deland to Daytona for several hours Saturday as they worked to contain the flames.
That led to heavy traffic and detours, which led to traffic backups and delays.
Many drivers were visiting for Bike Week. The roadway was reopened by 8 p.m.
The brush fire was at least 180 acres. As of Saturday night, the fire has been mostly contained, officials confirmed.
Officials said they don’t know what started the fire.
Ultimately, no structures were damaged.
Troopers will be monitoring any visibility problems and urge drivers to be careful in the area.
