Just in time for the 4th of July holiday week, a huge crack has opened up on Interstate 10 in the Beaumont area and it’s on the Southbound side headed toward Houston.
Traffic is being diverted off I-10 at Washington Boulevard -- that exit is currently closed. And you can’t go under the Washington overpass. All traffic on Washington Boulevard is being sent either North or South on the service road.
