BALCH SPRINGS, Texas — Three lanes of southbound traffic on Interstate 635 in Balch Springs are shut down Wednesday afternoon due to what appears to be alligator and chicken remnants in the roadway. 

According to a Facebook post from the Balch Spring Police Department, drivers traveling southbound on the interstate will encounter the closure, which is just before the US-175 ramp. The department said this closure could last several hours. 

Police said someone "lost their load" and cleaning crews should arrive by 6 p.m. Balch Springs PD told WFAA that the truck belongs to DAR PRO Solutions.

TxDOT cameras show a major backup on I-635 with the chicken and alligator remnants spread across multiple lanes. 

This is a developing story. WFAA will update with the latest.
