Tip: Check the traffic reports before heading to the game

North Texas' infamous traffic snarls caused LSU coach Les Miles to be late to his Wednesday press conference, and they might cause a delay for some fans heading to tonight's game.

A fuel tanker overturned on I-30, the main artery to Arlington, at 1:30 a.m. Friday, causing traffic to be closed in both directions just west of downtown Dallas.

The highway's westbound lanes, heading towards Arlington, were open and clear by mid-morning, but eastbound traffic was still gridlocked. Authorities are hoping to open the eastbound lanes by this afternoon.

Still, it's always a good idea to make a quick check of the traffic reports before getting in the car for tonight's AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. Although we have our share of traffic jams in North Texas, we also have lots of highways that can be used as alternate routes.
