IH-45 southbound at Broadway Street and Park Place had left shoulder and left lane closures starting at 5:36 AM on Wednesday, October 14, according to Houston TranStar. The crash forced traffic away from those lanes during the early morning commute.
If you're heading south on 45, consider Hardy Toll Road, SH-249 to the northwest, or local routes via Airline Drive to get around the incident. This stretch of IH-45 Gulf sees regular crash activity—eight incidents in the past month alone, and Wednesdays tend to be busier here, with seven crashes recorded over the past 90 days at this exact location.
Check real-time traffic conditions before you head out, and allow extra time if 45 is your regular route.
