As if there wasn\u2019t enough going on in the world, concrete was falling onto the northbound lanes of US-75 at the Lovers Lane overpass on the morning of Wednesday, Sept. 23.<\/p>\n

A Texas Department of Transportation representative told the Lakewood\/East Dallas Advocate\u00a0that the bridge was evaluated when crews were dispatched this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was determined a vehicle struck the wall and railing on the northbound frontage road at the U-turn area at Lovers Lane,\u201d TxDOT Northeast Texas Section Director Tony Hartzel said in an email. \u201cA small portion of the wall was damaged.\u201d<\/p>\n

None of the vehicles on the highway were reportedly hit by concrete, according to a FOX 4 report, and police closed the right lane at the time in response.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hartzel said, \u201cNo closures or traffic impacts are expected as a result of the incident.\u201d<\/p>\n
