On Tuesday morning, TxDOT confirmed a tall load hit the bridge.
As of 10 a.m., crews were on scene to check the bridge. They reopened the affected lane shortly after.
Barely a day earlier, crews were onsite assessing a separate incident after a heavy truck hit the bridge, again slowing down the morning commute on Monday.

The Houston Avenue Bridge has long been an issue for 18-wheeler drivers on I-10. It gets hit dozens of times a year, typically resulting in hours-long traffic backups.
TxDOT's I-10 White Oak Bayou project, which started construction in January, aims to fix that issue by moving Houston Avenue under I-10. The other goal of the project is to help with road flooding in the area.
The Houston Avenue Bridge work is scheduled for mid-2025 through late 2027. The entire project won't be finished until late 2028.
