BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – Interstate 10 has reopened in both directions in east Bexar County after equipment supporting a power line was struck by lightning during overnight storms, according to CPS Energy.
CPS Energy crews dispatched to make necessary repairs Sunday morning in the 13000 block I-10.
The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office said it temporarily shut down the roadway from west and east while crews made the repairs.
“As part of this proactive work, our law enforcement partners temporarily paused traffic for approximately 15 minutes to allow crews to complete repairs safely,” CPS Energy said in an email to KSAT. “This precaution was taken to ensure the safety of both the public and CPS Energy employees.”
Traffic is not expected to be stopped, the utility said. However, it advises drivers to move over or slow down as crews remain on site to “safely secure the equipment and complete repairs.”
