Local driving tips
- Freeway closures on I-35W, I-30, I-20 and Loop 820 are usually overnight. Check DriveTexas before late-night or early-morning trips.
- Crashes at big interchanges back traffic up for miles. Sudden slowdowns cause many rear-end crashes, so leave extra space when you see brake lights ahead.
- Low-water crossings near the Trinity River and its creeks can flood fast. Never drive into water over the road.
