Part of I-635 in Irving will remain shut down indefinitely after an 18-wheeler struck a bridge.

The incident happened Thursday afternoon on I-635 West at the N MacArthur Boulevard overpass.

The truck was hauling a large concrete block when it struck the bridge. SKY 4 video shows debris on the highway.

The Irving Fire Department tells FOX 4 the highway is "shut down indefinitely" because of the structural damage. It did not have a timeline for when it will reopen.

635 has been closed at MacArthur.

Drivers were seen crossing the median to turn around and get off the highway.

No injuries were reported.

Drivers will need to find an alternate route.
