BATON ROUGE - A chemical spill on the side of the I-12 off-ramp at O'Neal Lane stopped traffic in the area Tuesday afternoon. 

According to the Baton Rouge Fire Department, muratic acid leaked out of a container in a truck heading to Akers. 

Fire officials said muratic acid is a corrosive and there is no danger to the public. The ramp will be open when the spill is cleaned. 

The ramp was reopened early Wednesday morning.
