Dayton police and fire crews have blocked the southbound I-75 ramp to eastbound U.S. 35 in Dayton due to an investigation involving hazmat units.

Emergency dispatch traffic indicated the ramp was going to be closed for an extended period of time.

The incident happened around 10:30 a.m., and as of 3:20 p.m., the ramp was still closed.

Police were first called to the ramp to investigate a barrel that was on the highway that was apparently leaking a substance, emergency scanner traffic indicates.
