However, before people start hitting the town, they’d better be aware of the traffic because there will be several road closures in Sugar Land, starting Friday, July 26 at 9 p.m. through Monday, July 29 at 5 a.m.

According to the Texas DPS and the Sugar Land Police Department, the southbound main lanes of US-59/IH-69 from University Blvd. to SH-99 will be closed. Traffic going southbound on US-59/IH-69 will be diverted to the frontage road via Exit 106 and will re-enter just north of SH-99.

Here is a list of additional closures meant to improve traffic flow that drivers should be aware of:

• The northbound U-Turn, southbound entrance ramp at Sweetwater, and the southbound University Entrance ramp will close.
• The River Park southbound frontage road ingress/egress will be closed along with the two access points to the shopping center south of River Park.
• In addition, TxDOT will close the US 59/69 southbound Frontage Road (just south of University) and the existing bridge entrance ramp for 12 months. A temporary entrance ramp has been placed just South of University Blvd to maintain access to the US 59/IH 69 main lanes.
