Prison Break

Filming in Arlington

ARLINGTON -- Prison break in downtown Arlington? Not to worry.

The Fox network is scheduled to be in town today filming scenes for its prime-time drama Prison Break, city officials said Monday.

Motorists are encouraged to avoid West Street and Main Street between 6 and 11 a.m. Traffic will be diverted to Center, Abram, Cooper and Division streets.

Streets near where the scenes will be shot, including the West Street railroad underpass, will be restricted to necessary business and emergency traffic during filming, Arlington police said.

No word on how the downtown Arlington scenery fits the show, whose main character, Michael Scofield, (played by Wentworth Miller) is in a Panamanian prison.

Fans of the show, which has also filmed in downtown Fort Worth and Rockwall, will have to wait for the new episodes, which start in January, to find out.
