Route 17 from Meadow Street to Route 90 in Rockport will be closed most of Wednesday due to an overturned tanker carrying liquid nitrogen. The crash occurred shortly after 6:30 a.m., slightly east of the intersection with Route 90. The 18-wheeler was on its way to Fisher Engineering in Rockland when it went off the road and onto its side.
