HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Houston drivers will dodge a handful of construction and special event closures as they hit the road this weekend. This is especially true of drivers heading into and through downtown Houston. Both I-10 and I-45 Gulf freeway will see full inbound closures.<\/p>\n
TxDOT has outlined the closures as follows:<\/p>\n
I-10 Westbound<\/p>\n
All Mainlanes, including the westbound entrance from Louisiana, are closed from Hardy Street to I-45 North.
Effective Friday 9 p.m. to Monday 5 a.m.<\/p>\n
I-45 Gulf Northbound<\/p>\n
All Mainlanes, including the entrance ramp from Cullen Boulevard, are closed from Scott Street to US-59 Eastex.
Effective Friday 9 p.m. to Monday 5 a.m.<\/p>\n
Downtown alternate routes<\/p>\n
Alternate routes in and out of downtown, which are clear of major construction, include SH-288 from the south and US-59 Eastex from the northside.<\/p>\n
Just outside the I-610 Loop, drivers have other closures to contend with this weekend: on the Southwest Freeway approaching the West Loop, and for the Memorial Hermann Ironman Texas along the Hardy Toll.<\/p>\n
Hardy Toll southbound<\/p>\n
All Mainlanes, including the West Airport Connector, are closed.
Effective Friday 10 p.m. to Saturday 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
US-59 Southwest northbound<\/p>\n
Four inside lanes are closed from Westpark Tollway to Newcastle Drive.
Effective Friday 8 p.m. to Monday 5 a.m.<\/p>\n
Traffic on the Southwest Freeway will be detoured to the I-610 West Loop exits, northbound and southbound, but drivers can avoid the congestion altogether by using US-90 to reach I-610.<\/p>\n
