Route 44 reopened in Norfolk Friday afternoon, nearly a full week after a truck rollover and gas spill shut it down.
The tanker truck rolled over on Route 44 near Maple Avenue around 6 a.m. Saturday.
The truck was carrying 8,200 gallons of gasoline, all of which spilled onto lawns, and into storm drains in the area.
Gasoline seeped into the ground and got into the water beneath the soil, according to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
