The left lane of northbound Interstate 93 in Somerville will remain closed tonight through rush hour because of a jackknifed tractor-trailer loaded with thousands of pounds of recycled paper.

The truck, which crashed at 2:10 p.m. between exits 28 and 29, is too heavy to be moved, according to State Police. After rush hour, additional lanes will be closed so the truck's payload can be removed.

The 2004 Mack tractor-trailer is owned by Empire Recycling in North Billerica. The truck buckled but did not rupture. No one was injured, State Police said.
