All of the east and westbound lanes of I-20 and I-30 from I-820 were temporarily shut down due to wildfires Monday, according to the state Department of Transportation. By 5 p.m. local time Monday evening, the roads were reopened and the fires were largely contained.

While the interstates were closed and the fire burned, drivers were rerouted onto side roads to get around the threatened area. This created major backups in towns like Aledo.

"People don't know where they're going," Star-Telegram sports columnist and Aledo resident Randy Galloway said in the newspaper's report. "This is a mess."

Another grassfire was reported a short time later and was located between the towns of Poolville and Springtown. Additional evacuations were ordered as the blaze crept dangerously close to homes. No homes were damaged by either fire, according to the Associated Press.

Though the causes of the fires have not been determined, winds were strong on Monday, gusting up to 40 mph in the area, according to weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce .

Willow Park is located about 20 miles west of downtown Fort Worth.
