LA PORTE, Texas (KTRK) -- All eastbound lanes have reopened after an overturned 18-wheeler caused closures on SH-225 to SH-146 on Tuesday, according to officials.
The La Porte Office of Emergency Management (OEM) said the big rig incident, which was reported at about 5:13 a.m., closed the eastbound lanes of SH-225 to SH-146. In a 9:20 a.m. update, OEM officials said the flyover was expected to remain closed for several more hours as cleanup is underway.
As of 4:30 p.m., Houston TranStar reported that the scene was cleared and that all eastbound lanes have reopened.
