DALLAS - Interstate 30 is closed in both directions at Beckley Avenue in Dallas due to holes in the Beckley Street Bridge.
Reports described the hole to be about 6-feet in size and covering the westbound lanes of I-30.
Sr. Cpl. Janice Crowther said the interstate was closed to allow TxDOT and the City of Dallas Streets Department to inspect the bridge for safety concerns.
Crowther said the "significant size holes" possible posed a danger and there was no word yet on when I-30 would reopen.

I was real young then but 35-40 years ago Dallas-ites woke up to a large section of downtown that had developed a bottomless pit overnight. It took months to overcome that hole and I really don’t recall if they filled it in or just built supports from one side to the other.

Yes, but since he’s not from here and Google Maps doesn’t identify it as such, I figured I’d not confuse him.
Google traffic seems to indicate that the problem has been fixed and that traffic is flowing again.

Reporters using raw numbers again. I was thinking of a hole clean through and 6’ wide.
I should know better by now.

Um, actually, as the morning news described and showed it... it was a hole that was 6’ x 2’ and went all the way through the deck.

That could be just a bit dangerous.
