at Shepherd/Durham
Travelers are urged to choose another route or time


Houston TranStar officials are advising eastbound travelers on I-10 the Katy Freeway that all main lanes at the Shepherd/Durham exit are closed because of an accident involving a heavy truck. The big rig leaked fuel and the spill must be cleaned up before lanes can be re-opened.

The situation is expected to continue through the rush period. Travelers are urged to consider taking an alternate route or changing their departure times to avoid significant delays.
