I haven't gone down to check it this evening but my GPS is definitely trying to route around it.

@youarewrong : you can't turn at Farmingham there, FYI. It's blocked off turning left onto 1960.

Thanks for all the scare tactics, it was smooth sailing going through about 30 minutes ago. There was less traffic than normal. ðŸ˜‚

@ParksideRes : Yea but there's many other ways around that. Easiest way for me to Humble from Huffman is a straight shot. It seemed to be flowing pretty well though.

Now after Timber Forest it drops down to one lane each side and there was some kind of fender bender so it was a dead stop. Fortunately it was cleared out pretty quickly.

I put in a pickup order at Kroger, not knowing about the closure. I made it & back home. But that was the longest 30 min trip I've taken in a while!ðŸ˜‚
