Phone and cable lines fell on Interstate 45 in south Dallas County, forcing the shutdown of both the north and southbound lanes.
The lines fell across both directions of I-45 at Wintergreen Road in Hutchins at about 2:15 Thursday afternoon, according Laura Weaver with the Texas Department of Transportation. The road was reopen by 6 p.m.
Oncor crews were on the scene with TxDOT, but determined the lines were not power lines, but phone and cable lines.
The road is now back open.
