Houston traffic: I-10 partial closure

What they're saying:

Officials reported Saturday morning that two eastbound lanes remained closed on I-10 near the Houston Ave bridge.

Workers are expected to spend most of the day cleaning up the scene.

The backstory:

The lanes have been closed off since about 8 p.m. Friday night.

Houston Fire officials told FOX 26 that a big rig struck the bridge, and its container detached from the vehicle, blocking the roadway. Traffic was still able to get by, but it was backed up.
