DALLAS — Drivers on Interstate 35E in Dallas dealt with major traffic issues Sunday afternoon due to downed power lines.
The power lines were down on both sides of the highway near Clarendon Drive.
As of 4:20 p.m., the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office said the highway was back open. Dallas Fire-Rescue said crews arrived at around 1:53 p.m. to clean up.
Traffic had been at a standstill, and drivers were forced off the highway.
It’s unclear how the power lines ended up on the highway. The fire department said Oncor has been notified.
WFAA’s Mike Leslie was stuck in this traffic and described how authorities were helping to free up the drivers.
Update: with the assistance of police officers and a bunch of communication in a giant game of telephone down this entire stretch of jammed up interstate, we’ve managed to basically turn everyone around and head south on these northbound lanes to get free.
We’re finally moving. https://t.co/FIocOH95rB pic.twitter.com/STqStlldbQ
