UPDATE: Pomona (60) Freeway reopened at 3:15 p.m.
MONTEBELLO - The Pomona (60) Freeway opened in both directions at 3:15 p.m. Saturday for the first time since Wednesday.
Traffic in the westbound lanes of the freeway had opened at 11:08 a.m. Saturday, according to Caltrans officials.
The freeway had been closed since the tanker truck exploded and caught fire beneath the Paramount Boulevard overpass.
Before the eastbound side could open, workers had to put the finishing touches on scorched roadway.
Overnight work will continue to affect westbound lanes of the 60 Freeway at Paramount Boulevard as crews demolish the portion of the bridge over the westbound lanes.
