EASTBOUND LOOP 8, TEXAS — A traffic collision has forced the closure of the frontage road U-turn on eastbound Loop 8, approximately 1.8 miles east of Interstate 45 at mile marker 0714. The Texas Department of Transportation confirms that all main highway lanes remain open, with restrictions isolated to the frontage road.
Emergency response and maintenance crews are on scene working to clear the incident and reopen the U-turn lane. While no formal detour has been established, motorists seeking to reverse direction are encountering blockages along the turnaround.
TxDOT estimates the crash scene will be cleared and the U-turn reopened by approximately 7:00 PM.
Commercial truck drivers and dispatchers routing through this corridor should anticipate minor frontage road delays and utilize adjacent intersections to turn around. We will update this report as additional information becomes available.
