It’s a typical Friday morning in San Antonio, but commuters are facing some serious headaches thanks to accidents on the highways. If you’re headed out this morning, better buckle up and plan for a slow ride!
Starting the day with a bang—shortly after 7 a.m., a crash was reported on I-35 near San Pedro. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has closed down two lanes of southbound traffic along with the shoulder. This has created a bottleneck, with traffic stopped in the area. If you’re caught in this jam, expect delays that could stretch up to 20 minutes!
For those who frequent this route, you know that I-35 is one of the busiest highways in the area. With the main lanes blocked, this could lead to even more headaches as the morning progresses. Remember to be patient and drive safely.
But it doesn’t stop there! The folks over at SigAlert are reporting a string of accidents across Loop 410 as well. One of the main hotspots is at the Highway Spur 345, where a crash is currently blocking the right shoulder. Commuters using this route should brace themselves for stop-and-go traffic, with similar potential delays of up to 20 minutes.
Another problem spot is at Loop 410 and Vance Jackson Road. Traffic is backed up to West Avenue, and you’ll want to keep an eye on how long it takes to clear that area. Just to add to the woes, there’s also a crash causing delays on the right shoulder at this intersection—yikes!
On the Far Westside, a report has come in about an accident that is partially blocking the on-ramp at Loop 410 and Highway 90. It’s never a good thing to see an accident, but it’s even worse when it disrupts the on-ramps. If you’re planning to head in that direction, be prepared for additional delays.
Furthermore, over on the Southside of the city, there’s more trouble brewing at Loop 410 and TX-16. Here, another accident is blocking the right shoulder, and it’s creating a ripple effect throughout the area. Traffic monitors are expecting additional backup, so be careful if you must travel this way.
With multiple incidents along the highways, it would be wise to consider alternative routes if possible. Keep your favorite traffic apps handy, and check real-time updates to get the best idea of what to expect. It’s always a good idea to factor in extra travel time during days like this, especially with the unpredictable nature of traffic.
As we make our way through this busy day, let’s remember to drive cautiously and look out for one another on the roads. While it might be frustrating being stuck in traffic, a little patience and extra care can go a long way in ensuring safety for everyone involved.
Stay tuned for further updates as the situation unfolds! You might want to check if any of your local traffic resources have additional information or road alerts to help you navigate the busy streets.
