Interstate 35W was closed in Burnsville, Minnesota Tuesday night due to some downed wires.

Some severe weather moved through the Twin Cities area around the same time the wires fell across the freeway. The interstate reopened by 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. 

The closure caused delays as vehicles left the roadway. 

Nobody was injured.

This is a developing story.
