US 290, TEXAS — Severe winter roadway hazards have prompted a maximum-severity alert on both eastbound and westbound US 290 between mile marker 0578 and mile marker 0564. The impacted stretch spans from 0.352 miles west of South 1st Street to 1.092 miles west of Circle Drive, resulting in significant corridor-wide delays.
TxDOT crews have established active detours around the area, and travel along this corridor is officially discouraged due to widespread icy conditions. Highway response teams and maintenance units are monitoring the segment as traffic control measures remain deployed.
