Out of an abundance of caution, HCTRA says, drivers and workers in the area should be aware of the following segments that will be closed:

  • The westbound I-610 entrance ramp to the northbound Hardy Toll Road will also be closed.
  • The southbound Crosstimbers Street exit ramp will also be closed.
  • Drivers traveling southbound will be detoured to take the Parker Road/Tidwell Road exit ramp.

HCTRA could not provide a timeframe on when the roadways would re-open, as of this writing.
