Tanker Wedges Under Houston Avenue Bridge, Shutting Eastbound I-10 Lanes

The crash highlights a chronic low-clearance hazard that TxDOT plans to eliminate with a bridge replacement next year.

Overview

  • Eastbound I-10 at Houston Avenue saw several lanes closed after a bridge strike Monday, Houston TranStar reported.
  • Aerial footage from SKY 2 and SkyEye showed a tanker stuck under the overpass with its load spilled across the freeway.
  • The strike is the fourth this year and the 77th since the start of 2025, according to ABC13’s count.
  • Harris County Sheriff’s Office warned of long delays as crews cleared the spill and TxDOT moved to assess possible damage.
  • A TxDOT White Oak Bayou I-10 elevation project is slated to replace the bridge early next year to curb repeat crashes.
