Original story
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — U.S. 52 southbound is closed after a tractor-trailer caught fire.
Both lanes are currently blocked under the East 16th Street Bridge.
The tractor-trailer fire is currently under control but the water used to put the fire out has caused icy road conditions.
Salt trucks are treating the road.
