Update on I-20 in Van Zandt County

Report This Post

A wreck yesterday morning involving two big rigs along I-20 just past FM 47 is still taking its toll on folks that take I-20 eastbound on a daily basis. The freeway will continue to be closed at exit 519 due to the bridge damage and engineers are still assessing the structural damage done to the overpass. Best case scenario? An emergency contracting crew will be able to fix the support in a week or two....but if the dammage is more significant....well.....suffices to sayu it could be a LOOOOOOONG time before all is normal again. For now, consider taking Highway 80 as an alternate route.

Welcome to the chopper zone! If you're new to the area let me introduce myself. My job for FOX 4: Be the eyes that guide you to the traffic troubles around the Metroplex! I'm a Texan through and through--born in Austin, raised in North Texas with a degree from TCU. My wife and I have been married for 12 years and we have 2 kids. I love playing golf and watching all sports. I also like to sing and play guitar. My secret goal? Someday I'd love to build my own golf course....but having the ability to retire on one would be great too! If there's anything I can do to help you plan routes through this busy part of Texas please let me know and as always: have a "Good Day!"
