UPDATE: All lanes have reopened as of Thursday 3 p.m., according to the WisDOT.
The Vandenbroek Kaukauna Fire Department said in a news release that the vehicle in flames was a pickup truck. The truck was located within an active construction zone, making it more difficult for responding agencies to arrive.
According to the fire department, lanes were closed as heavy black smoke was affecting visibility for drivers.
The flames were put out successfully at around 2:30 p.m, with lanes opening back up shortly after.
No information was provided on injuries.
