A major crash on Beltway 8 northbound at I-69 Southwest brought traffic to a crawl Thursday morning around 9:24 AM in Harris County.
The wreck shut multiple lanes on the northbound side, creating significant backups for commuters heading toward the southwest corridor. Crews responded quickly, but the incident tied up the freeway during a busy part of the morning commute.
If you're headed that direction, you've got options. The US-59 frontage roads offer a solid alternate, or you can shift over to Hillcroft and Fondren for southwest segments. If you're traveling south-bound, SH-288 gives you another route around the mess.
The road should clear within the next couple of hours as crews finish clearing the scene. Check ahead before you head out — delays are still building as drivers work through the backup.
