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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We also want to take a moment to remind everyone to stay safe on the road. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, it’s crucial to be aware of your surroundings and obey traffic signs. Remember, most accidents can be avoided with a little caution and care.
Let’s keep our community safe and support each other on the roads. If you do happen to be driving through Georgetown today, drive carefully. And for anyone affected by the traffic jams earlier, we appreciate your patience and understanding!
Stay tuned for more updates, and we’ll keep you in the loop as things unfold. Have a great day, Georgetown!
