A big rig struck the Waco Street bridge over Interstate 10 East on Friday morning.

Texas Department of Transportation crews have completed an emergency inspection of the bridge, and all westbound main lanes are back open. Crews have closed one northbound lane on the Waco Street bridge until repairs are scheduled.

Crews initially had two outside lanes of I-10 blocked as they inspected the bridge for any substantial damage, according to TxDOT.

The truck hit the bridge around 11:20 a.m. in the westbound lanes, heading into town.
