Route 28 has reopened after a multi-vehicle crash at the Highland Park Bridge exit forced a road closure and caused a major backup during this afternoon’s rush hour. 

Police, fire, EMS and PennDOT crews responded about 4 p.m. to the crash at the Highland Park Bridge/Route 8 split. The road was reopened shortly before 5:30 p.m. 

Authorities had rerouted all traffic heading north on Route 28 in that area over the bridge, PennDOT spokesman Steve Cowan said.

At least three vehicles were involved in the crash, but there was no immediate word of injuries.
