Per CBS-11 TV 0601 05-05-2008

TXDOT has completed repairs on WB IH-30 over Beckly Ave. However TXDOT spokesmen say the road will not be fully opened untill later this afternoon. ONE lane is getting through at this time. Back-up goes well beyond DT Dallas.

The hole was actually about 2' dia. and did dammage some vehicles last night prompting Dallas Fire & Rescue being called to the scene. TXDOT not saying the reason for the bridge to break, possibly due to the rain this spring.
