UPDATE @ 12:30pm
The Department of Highways tells WSAZ.com that one lane of I-77 north in Jackson County, West Virginia, will be closed until at least 2 or 3 p.m. Wednesday.
Crews say a tractor trailer carrying 45,000 pounds of eggs flipped over, causing damage to at least a third of the eggs.
The DOH says workers are transferring the cargo to another truck at this time, but traffic is still flowing relatively smoothly.
Traffic will have to be shut down completely for about 20 minutes when crews attempt to flip the truck upright again.
UPDATE @ 8:54am
911 dipatchers say one lane of I-77 north is now open.

I was off today so thank goodness I nor my family was out there on the highway this morning when this happened. I sure hope everyone involved or that was close to the accident this morning is and will remain alright. Take good care out there all my fellow TT drivers AND West Virginian's, May God bless and watch over all of you out there on and off the roads (weather shopping or traveling..etc) over this Holiday Season and Merry Christmas to you all as well!! (To all the kids out there, Hope Santa brings you all that you ask for this year and be safe,Be good for goodness sakes, he's always watching (hehe) :-) Merry Christmas to you all as well angels.)
