ARLINGTON, Texas — Updated Wednesday after the freeway reopened.

All eastbound lanes of Interstate 30 were shut down for around four hours in Arlington to an incident with an 18-wheeler. 

The freeway reopened around noon Wednesday. 

The Texas Department of Transportation confirmed the closure at Fielder Road around 8:07 a.m. as officials worked to put out a fire on the truck. 

Police are advising drivers to expect delays and say they should find alternate routes if possible. 

Drivers can take Highway 183 or Interstate 20 instead to avoid the delays, which are currently around one hour.
