DALLAS (CBS 11 News) ― The traffic tie-ups at U.S. 175 and State Highway 310 are going to continue for some time.
The southbound lanes of 310 at 175 were closed by Sunday's fiery tanker truck explosion and fire.
Monday, Texas Department of Transportation officials inspected the bridge for damage. They say the bridge is so heavily damaged it must be demolished and replaced. That means the bridge will be closed indefinitely -- possibly for as long as six months.

The North Texas Tollway Authority is raising tolls at the Wycliff Avenue gate of the Dallas North Tollway to make them consistent with those at other toll booths.
Starting today, tolls will go up a dime to 70 cents for TollTag customers and a quarter to $1 for other motorists, the authority said.
The tolls had been lower because of construction between Lemmon Avenue and Interstate 35E. Wycliff Avenue sits in the middle of the construction, which just ended.
