Multiple crews will be working on the River Road Bridge area today removing debris from a semi truck fire, repairing guard rails and repairing the asphalt in the area., according to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.

Traffic was blocked from all directions on Highway 69/75 Wednesday after a truck driver slammed his rig into the River Road Bridge over the highway at 1:08 p.m. The driver escaped with minor injuries and the truck burst into flames.

Firefighters from Calera, Colbert and Cartwright fought the fire.

Northbound traffic was routed to Franklin Street in Colbert and southbound motorists were directed to Highway 91 in Denison, Texas.

A bridge crew will be on site today to conduct an inspection.

One northbound lane of Highway 69/75 is closed and the overhead bridge on River Road is still closed until it can be inspected. The department of transportation hopes to be able to open it back up by the end of today.
