A crash has totally shut down one of Texas’ busiest highways on Wednesday afternoon.
Drivers heading north on I-35 in New Braunfels are facing heavy traffic as they head toward San Marcos and Austin on Wednesday, April 1. TxDOT confirmed the high-severity crash at 3:57 p.m., initially shutting down all three lanes and both shoulders before reopening most of them. The far right lane and shoulder remain closed at I-35 and Watson Lane East as of 4:22 p.m. Wednesday.
