Eastbound lanes of west Interstate 20 and the north- and southbound lanes of south Loop 250 currently are shut down because a semi-trailer truck hit the overpass at the roadways’ intersection, according to a city spokesman.

There is major damage to the bridge and motorists should avoid the area, the spokesman said.

Midland police are on the scene.
