BLOOMINGTON, Ill.—A 17-mile stretch of interstate in central Illinois that had closed after a pileup involving about 100 cars, trucks, and big rigs in a blinding snowstorm fully reopened Friday.

There were no reports of injuries in the crashes, which happened Thursday on Interstate 39 north of Bloomington as winds gusting up to 40 mph cut visibility during a storm that swept through the Midwest and other parts of the country.
