EASTBOUND I-40, TEXAS — A major traffic incident has forced the closure of all eastbound main lanes on Interstate 40 near FM 1912. The closure spans from mile marker 81 to mile marker 82, starting just west of FM 1912 and extending approximately 0.85 miles east of the interchange.
Emergency personnel and incident clearance teams are actively working at the scene. All eastbound traffic is currently being diverted off the main interstate lanes and onto the continuous frontage road to bypass the blockage.
According to transportation officials, the incident was first reported at 8:21 AM on October 26, 2026. Clearance crews currently project that the roadway will reopen by approximately 10:30 AM, depending on recovery progress.
Drivers and freight dispatchers navigating this stretch of I-40 should plan for delays along the frontage road detour or seek alternate regional routes. We will update this report as more information becomes available.
