Denton-area closings 9:18 AM CDT

09:18 AM CST on Friday, March 7, 2008

No major problems on Interstate 35E as of 7:25 a.m. Southbound lanes at Teasley Lane and I-35E are now open. On the northbound side, 18-wheelers were sliding sideways with one tractor-trailer rig stuck on the side of the road around 6:30 a.m. Some problems were also being reported along U.S. 380, though traffic is moving.

Icy conditions reported along Texas 114, Interstate 35-West and Interstate 35-E. Traffic is moving at a faster pace, though caution is advised.

The near record snowfall, at 7 to 8 inches, that the North Texas area experienced on Thursday has forced cancellation of many of Denton-area schools and universities as well as opening delays. Several preschools and businesses were reporting closures and delays. 

Earlier this morning around 5 a.m., police worked accidents at Swisher Road and I-35E, where both sides of the interstate were closed for about 30 minutes until wreckage was cleared, according to WFAA Channel 8.
