I-35 Closed in Texas Until Further Notice

A highway beam was struck along I-35 in Salado, Texas earlier today, killing one and injuring several. I-35 Bridge Struck by Tractor Trailer

As a result, I-35 is shut down near the accident in both directions, which took place 50 miles north of Austin.

An oversize tractor trailer hit a beam on a highway bridge under construction causing the accident, which also threw debris on several nearby vehicles.

According to the Texas DOT, NB and SB traffic is being detoured to SH 195 and US 190 through Killeen. Current traffic is backed up in each direction about 7 miles from the crash site. Current estimate for clearing the crash site is at least 8 p.m. but the state says it could be later.

Texas DOT will continue to post updates to its website on the opening of I-35 after the clearing of debris.
