Traffic Alert: I-35 Lanes Reopen After Major Crash in Georgetown
Good morning, Georgetown! If you’ve been out and about this morning, you might have heard the buzz about a major traffic incident that caused quite the stir on I-35. But we’ve got some good news! The southbound lanes have officially reopened after the crash earlier this morning, and things are slowly getting back to normal.
What Happened?
Early this morning, around 6:14 a.m., a significant collision occurred just south of Lakeway Drive. The details of the crash are still unfolding, but it was serious enough to affect not just the main traffic lanes, but also the shoulders of the highway. Imagine the chaos at that hour when many of us are still trying to get to work or drop the kids off at school!
As news of the incident spread, the Georgetown Police Department quickly took action to manage the situation. They posted announcements on social media just after 6:48 a.m., advising motorists to seek alternate routes and avoid the affected area if possible. It’s always a challenge when accidents like this happen during peak travel times.
Impact on Traffic
The gathered reports from the Texas Department of Transportation confirmed that all lanes on I-35 southbound were initially blocked due to the crash. That meant both shoulders and the three main lanes were completely affected. Anyone who has traveled that stretch of highway knows how important it is to keep the flow of traffic moving, especially during morning rush hour. The response from authorities was quick, but it still took some time to clear the scene.
Visibility and Caution
For those who use I-35 regularly, it’s a good reminder to always be vigilant and check traffic conditions as you start your day. Accidents can happen at any time, and it’s important to drive safely and be prepared for potential delays. If you’re in the Georgetown area or planning to travel through, allow some extra time this morning just in case.
Looking Ahead
As of now, traffic is slowly beginning to flow again on the reopened lanes, and we hope it stays that way! The Georgetown Police Department is expected to follow up with more information on the crash as investigations continue, and many will be keeping an ear out for updates.
