Highway 79 at FM 46 is back open after an incident involving chicken parts. The right lane traveling westbound was closed for four hours.

According to an alert issued by the Robertson County Sheriff's Office, "there are chicken parts scattered on Highway 79 from FM 46 to Center Street in Franklin."

Additional chicken parts are also near the car wash and Shell gas station.

Deputies say an 18-wheeler may have been at a stop light and shifting gears when the parts were dropped at several different spots along the highway.

Clean-up crews from Bastrop came out to clean the scene. TxDOT responded as well.
