As of 5:14 p.m., US 59 North has been cleared and reopen, according to Rhonda Oaks, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Transportation. The northbound lanes were shut down since Wednesday morning as crews worked to upright an 18-wheeler.

PREVIOUS: In the wake of a wreck in which an 18-wheeler rolled over, U.S. Highway 59 north of Tenaha in Shelby County is down to two lanes.

According to Rhonda Oaks, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Transportation, Highway 59 will be down to only two lanes for several hours while a wreckers upright and remove the overturned 18-wheeler.
