WESTBOUND LOOP AT CLOVERLEAF CLOSED AFTER OVERSIZED LOAD TIPS

  

The westbound loop at the Highway 290-Highway 36 cloverleaf interchange in Brenham is closed as crews work to move an oversized load.

According to Brenham Fire Chief Mark Donovan, a lowboy trailer carrying heavy equipment was attempting to navigate the loop around 2:15 p.m. Sunday when the vehicle shifted.  The load tipped, but has not fallen off and is being stabilized.

Units from the Brenham Police and Fire Departments responded to the scene, along with TxDOT and DPS.

According to Donovan, officials were waiting for an additional heavy-duty wrecker to arrive this (Monday) morning to help move the load.  A timetable was not immediately available as to when the loop would be re-opened.
