AUSTIN (KXAN) — Loop 360 was shut down in both directions for some time Friday afternoon in west Austin for “emergency utility repairs.”
That’s according to the Loop360Project, which posted the details on social media. The repairs were happening at Cedar Street, which is just north of Westlake Drive.
Texas Department of Transportation incident reports show a crash happened at Westlake Drive with both northbound and southbound lanes closed. In an update around 6 p.m., TxDOT said the southbound lanes reopened and the right northbound lane remains closed.
