Dallas School Closings


Icy roads and cold weather conditions are causing problems for residents of Dallas. Due to freezing rain and snow on each and every highway, bridges and overpasses is creating problems for people and affecting their daily life routine as well. The icy roads have increased the traffic problems a lot and several schools in the districts have announced their closings. According to the officials of the Texas Department of Transportation, in all counties in the area, the sanding crews are fully deployed.

Today, dozens of school in Tarrant and Denton counties remained closed. According to a DART official,

“Ice also is causing delays around the Illinois Avenue station on the blue line. Buses are on normal schedules, but icy roads may cause delays.”

HOV lanes on I-30, I-35-E, U.S. 67 are closed, according to DART. DART also reported that High Five interchange is also close.
According to the Weather Service,

“With elevated road surfaces the most likely to be impacted, there may be sudden changes in driving conditions as commuters move from road surfaces in contact with the ground to elevated roadways.”

The Weather Service also reported that these conditions could cause very dangerous travel conditions. A few days back, the cold front was originated in Canada, but after midnight, this cold front descended on North Texas.
