I35e Shutdown At Lake Dallas

WFAA has the story on this:http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dws/wfaa/latestnews/stories/wfaa071115_ljwz_truckexplosion.7438988.html

From the looks of of it, I35E is a trap right now once you get past the lake bridge. All I'm hearing and reading is telling everyone to find an alternate route going north and south to go around the accident scene. Going northbound, I'm planning to detour at 1171 in Lewisville or at 407, then make my way to 2181 and ride that north into Teasley and Denton. The cause is a gas truck fire...but you can get the details on the website.

(Sidenote: the UNT PD had an automated call come to my phone to give me another notice on this. Very cool, very smart system. Thanks, UNTPD.)
