All lanes of eastbound I-30 reopened at I-635 after crash causes hours-long closure

The roadway was closed down for most of Tuesday morning.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Eastbound Interstate 30 has been reopened after it completely shut down at Interstate 635 for hours, Texas Department of Transportation officials said Tuesday. 

A crash that happened around 5:30 a.m. at the convergence of the two highways in Mesquite was forcing all motorists to the Lyndon B. Johnson freeway, according to officials. 

A car appeared to have crashed into the back of an 18-wheeler, though police have not yet released any details about the crash.

The ramp to head south on I-635 was reopened by about 7:45 a.m., but the roadway remained closed until late into the morning. It had reopened by around 11:30 a.m.

Police were on the scene most of the morning, investigating the crash that caused the closure, according to TxDOT.
