Burleson’s I-35W gridlock: Power line chaos

A downed power line turned I-35W near Burleson into a standstill, stranding drivers and spilling traffic onto local streets. Crews rushed to clear the hazard, but the closure of both the highway and frontage roads left commuters with few options. Utility officials are reminding everyone: never approach a fallen wire—always assume it’s live and call 911. This kind of shutdown on a major route like I-35W ripples across the whole region, especially during busy hours. Anyone else caught in the mess or have tips for handling these sudden traffic disasters? #Transportation #Burleson #I35W
