The three right lanes of eastbound Interstate 20 between Great Southwest Parkway and Carrier Parkway will be closed between 5 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Sunday for construction of the Hwy 161 bridge. The eastbound entrance ramp from Great Southwest Parkway will also be closed. At times all eastbound traffic on Interstate 20 will be temporarily stopped until the beams that support the bridge are in place.

Churches are joining the AISD and local businesses in the “unhappy about increases in storm water fees” camp. Leaders from hundreds of Arlington churches are meeting today to figure out a way to pressure the city council to eliminate the increase or exempt churches. Some churches could face an increase of 300 percent or more. The Arlington City Council unanimously approved the plan July 3 but needs to vote on it one more time before it becomes official. It is set to discuss the plan again Tuesday but may decide to table it due to the concerns.

An Arlington daycare worker has been accused of breaking a baby’s arm. The parents were first accused, but after an investigation and a long ordeal with CPS, the Rivera family has been cleared and the daycare has come under scrutiny. The accused worker is no longer employed at the Primrose School of North East Green Oaks for reasons unrelated to the case.
