Original Story:
The Texas Department of Transportation is in the process of shutting down the “Mile-Long Bridge” on U.S. Highway 180 West over Hubbard Creek Reservoir, according to a Facebook post by Stephens County Judge Michael Roach.
Shortly before 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 22, Roach posted the following:
“The Texas Department of Transportation has informed Stephens County that the ‘Mile Long Bridge’/ 180 West will be closed ASAP. The bridge failed an inspection and will undergo major repairs. We will update the public as soon as we know more information.”
At 4:55 p.m., the bridge had not been shut down.
