Report

Labor Day 2026 in Texas

What the DriveTexas feed carried over the holiday weekend.

Driving across Texas

I-10 crosses about 880 miles from El Paso to Orange, the longest stretch of one interstate in any single state. I-35 runs the NAFTA corridor from Laredo through San Antonio, Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth. I-20 splits off I-10 in West Texas and carries traffic through Midland-Odessa, Abilene and Fort Worth toward Louisiana. I-45 links Houston and Dallas, and US-90 and US-290 carry the in-between traffic.

What the season does to Texas's highways

Texas weather works both ends of the thermometer. Summer heat blows tires on the long western stretches, and a fast-moving winter ice storm can shut hundreds of miles of I-35 or I-20 within hours, because most of the state does not run fleets of plows. Along the Gulf, hurricane season means contraflow evacuations announced by route and mile. West of San Antonio, I-10 runs hundreds of miles with towns few and far between.

Texas facts, with sources

Before a Texas road trip

  1. Check the map above for anything red on your route, then open DriveTexas for the DOT's own detour and restriction text.
  2. Look at the road. The Texas cameras show the pavement itself, and most carry the mile marker.
  3. For the long haul, the I-10, I-40, I-35 and I-20 corridor pages carry alerts for every state the route crosses, not only Texas.
  4. Know how to say where you are. Dispatch, 911 and tow companies ask for the route, the direction and the mile marker. How to report your location on the highway.
  5. Carry the app. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states, and the same DriveTexas alerts show on your route as you drive.

What October looked like

In October 2026, MileCheck's archive of the DriveTexas feed held 1,092 unique reports, including 23 closure reports, 4 crash reports and 1,051 work-zone reports. The routes with the most reports were I-35, I-30 and I-10. Counts reflect what the feed publishes, so a state whose DOT posts only closures shows only closures. Read the October Highway Report.

Questions, answered

Is the highway closed in Texas right now?

The map above shows full closures from the DriveTexas feed as red markers, crashes in orange, and weather and hazard alerts in blue and purple. Closures the DOT has posted for a future date are listed as scheduled, and ramp and lane closures sit under the toggle so the list stays readable. The page checks MileCheck's feed every five minutes. If the feed cannot be reached the page says so instead of showing an empty map. For the official list, open DriveTexas.

Where do I check Texas road conditions?

DriveTexas is the official source, and dialing 511 in most states reaches the same information by phone. This page reads the same DriveTexas feed and adds the Texas cameras, the corridor and pass pages, and your own mile marker if you carry the app.

How often does this page update?

This page checks MileCheck's feed every five minutes. DriveTexas updates individual reports on its own schedule. Source update times are shown when available.

Does the MileCheck app show these alerts?

Yes. The app shows the same DriveTexas alerts on your route, ahead of your position, with the mile marker you are passing. The mile marker works offline in all 50 states. Live alerts are part of MileCheck Premium, $19.99 a year or $4.99 a month after a 2-week free trial.

Know exactly where you are — live

Your mile marker shows even offline. DriveTexas alerts on your route and the nearest camera are part of MileCheck Premium and need a connection to update. Runs on CarPlay and Android Auto.
