The TxDOT official Twitter page tweeted out photos of both incidents to warn Houstonians.
TxDOT crews have since cleared the load that was blocking multiple lanes at the Katy Freeway eastbound towards Houston Avenue.
The second location at the E. Freeway going westbound at Lockwood is still blocked from a heavy truck crash.
The truck carried contents that called for Hazmat crews to be called on the scene. It is unclear how the crash happened.
