Officials cite an overheight truck, with no reopening estimate during inspections.

Overview

  • Houston TranStar reported the collision just before noon on I-10 eastbound at Houston Avenue.
  • The Texas Department of Transportation confirmed the bridge was hit by an oversized vehicle.
  • Harris County Sheriff's Office Lt. Terry Garza said only one lane was open following the strike.
  • TxDOT said crews closed the area for cleanup and bridge inspection and did not provide a timeline to fully reopen.
