APEX, N.C. �� Westbound U.S. Highway 64 was closed Friday morning between Laura Duncan Road as well as the Salem Street exit in Apex after a used gantry cranes became stuck with a railroad overpass, police said.

All westbound traffic was forced to exit U.S. 64 at Laura Duncan Road for longer than a couple of hours before authorities could actually reopen one westbound lane.
