A wreck closed Interstate 40 westbound lanes near exit 100 Tuesday afternoon in Burke County.
A photo shows a plume of smoke rising from I-40 just after the Jamestown Road bridge around 2:30 p.m.
North Carolina State Highway Patrol Trooper Christopher Casey said both lanes were closed as of 2:30 p.m.
Casey said there was a wreck that caused a tractor trailer to catch fire.
