Downed Power Lines Temporarily Close Central Expressway
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Downed power lines have shut down both directions of US Highway 75, also known as Central Expressway, at Forest Lane.
Police are blocking the freeway and directing drivers to exits. The closure has caused a huge traffic backup.
While the lines are not on the surface of the highway, traffic is stopped due to low hanging lines.
CBSDFW has confirmed that one of the utility poles has caught fire. Meanwhile, crews can be spotted from Chopper 11 on the scene making repairs.
An investigation is underway to determine what caused the lines to fall.
