Oversized Truck Strikes Tomball Parkway Overpass, Southbound Lanes Closed

TxDOT inspection plus debris removal will determine when southbound lanes can safely reopen.

Overview

  • An oversized truck hit the Tomball Parkway overpass at Chasewood Park Drive on Thursday morning, dislodging concrete onto the southbound roadway.
  • All southbound lanes in the 20500 block near Grant Road are closed and deputies from Harris County Precinct 4 are directing traffic around the scene.
  • TranStar verified the crash around 10:30 a.m., and reports show the lanes remained shut into the early afternoon as TxDOT responded to assess structural damage.
  • Authorities reported no injuries as of midday and said the incident remains under active investigation with limited public details about the vehicle or operator.
  • Over-height vehicle strikes typically require detailed bridge inspections that can keep lanes closed for hours, forcing drivers to use alternate routes and increasing local traffic delays.
