A crash closed the left shoulder and two center lanes on IH-10 Katy westbound near IH-45 Gulf on Saturday evening, November 07, 2026, around 8:57 PM.
Crew response brought the incident under control, but backups built quickly as traffic filtered through the remaining open lanes at one of the region's busiest freeway junctions.
If you're heading westbound on IH-10, Hardy Toll Road, SH-249 to the northwest, or local routes via Airline Drive offer ways around the congestion. Check current conditions before diverting — alternate routes can fill up fast when the Katy corridor takes a hit.
