Smith County Engineer Frank Davis said the wreck took out the guardrails and damaged the wooden deck of the bridge, which will need to be replaced. It is the south bridge over Lake Tyler East on CR 230, between Highway 64 East and Farm-to-Market Road 345. Davis said reconstructing the bridge is now a top priority since CR 230 sees lots of traffic. The work is expected to take six to eight weeks. Drivers in the area must take an alternative route. According to our news partner KETK, the accident involved a truck that ended up overturned in Lake Tyler East. The truck has since been pulled out of the water. The driver has been identified as Philip Willis, 37, of Arp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; Smith County Road and Bridge crews were blocking off and closing a bridge Friday on County Road 230, between Arp and Chapel Hill, after a fatal vehicle accident caused major damage.
