Coolant hose burst on highway

2001 9-5 wagon 254,000 miles
While driving to Grand Rapids on the interstate yesterday, I encountered a massive slowdown at Grand Ledge.
Stop and Go drive for 10 miles until the Portland exit...where steam started pouring out from under the hood. I immediately pulled over, shut down, and raised the hood. The steam/boil-over continued for quite a while.
80 degrees ambient air temps.
The dash temperature guage never got to the red zone the entire time, readings more like 10 o'clock....
Had to be flat bed towed 30 miles to Grand Rapids.
Mechanics will see it Monday.
Lower radiator hose, and tiny hose from top of radiator to expansion tank are original to the car. I could not tell where precisely the hose blew out.
Upper hose had been replaced 2x through my ownership.
