    Been there before. We recently had a semi truck tip and spill thousands of frozen French fries across all lanes of the highway. They closed it completely down for hours. People were literally reversing on the highway to back up to the nearest exit. It was terrible

      See, as much as I hate Texas and especially TXDOT, I will give it props for it’s access roads that run alongside the interstates. Stuff gets too backed up, folks can just drive over the grass to the access road. It’ll back the access road up, too, but it’ll be moving, at least. Hell, out in west Texas you can see where the locals have made their own exit because the nearest one is a 10+ mile drive out of the way.
