Houston Avenue Bridge Hit for 76th Time Since 2025 as Police Halt I-10 for Overheight Truck

TranStar cameras showed officers reversing the 18-wheeler to escort it off the freeway, easing a brief backup near downtown.

Overview

  • TxDOT said Tuesday’s strike is the third this year and the 76th since the start of 2025.
  • The 18-wheeler with a too-tall load stopped on I-10 eastbound near Hogan Street as it approached the Houston Avenue Bridge.
  • Houston police temporarily shut eastbound lanes, turned the rig around, and escorted it the wrong way to remove it from the freeway.
  • Authorities later allowed eastbound traffic to resume while continuing the escorted exit, according to TranStar images.
  • No injuries were reported in the latest accounts, and officials did not release any structural assessment results for the bridge.
