A major crash brought traffic to a crawl on Brittmoore Road Monday afternoon, February 09, 2026, at 4:40 PM. The incident at 1888 Brittmoore Road forced significant delays during the peak commute hours, affecting drivers heading through the area near Highway 290 and the Greens area of northwest Harris County.
The collision occurred during one of the worst possible times for traffic flow—right as afternoon commuters were leaving their workplaces. Drivers should expect extended delays on Brittmoore Road through the immediate area. Those heading northbound or southbound on Brittmoore can use parallel routes like Hockley Road to the west or Spring Stuebner Road to the east to bypass the heaviest congestion. Connecting to FM 1960 or diverting toward Highway 290 are also viable options for drivers trying to circumvent this stretch.
Brittmoore Road in this vicinity serves as a major north-south connector through the Greens and surrounding commercial zones. The area regularly handles substantial traffic volumes from the numerous office parks, retail establishments, and residential communities nearby. While not historically one of Houston's most problematic intersections, this particular section sees consistent midday and afternoon congestion, especially when incidents occur during the 4-6 PM window.
As of the afternoon report, traffic remained significantly impacted on Brittmoore Road. The scope of the crash and whether lanes were fully reopened was still being assessed by first responders. Drivers in the area should plan for substantial delays and allow extra time for their commutes. Given the major severity rating, backup was expected to extend well beyond the immediate crash location, affecting feeder roads and nearby thoroughfares as drivers sought alternate routes home.
