The northbound and southbound exit ramps from Beltway 8 to I-10 eastbound will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday. You will have to exit the freeway and use side streets and frontage roads as a detour. Message boards and detour signs will be in place to help you navigate this closure.
West Loop and the Southwest Freeway
The long-running rebuild of this interchange continues with a big closure this weekend. All exits from both the northbound and southbound 610 West Loop onto the Southwest Freeway will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday through 5 a.m. Monday. If at all possible, avoid this interchange, because backups will likely be long. If you must navigate through it, you will need to use feeder roads and side streets as a detour.
Direct connector from I-10 to U.S. 290 westbound
The exit ramp to 290 westbound will be closed nightly, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. this weekend. Traffic using the direct connector will have to proceed onto I-610 eastbound, make a U-turn at Ella Boulevard, then access 290 westbound from I-610 westbound.
I-10 near Brookshire, Waller County
There will be overnight closures of all main lanes of I-10 at FM 1489 in Brookshire, Waller County, this weekend. The westbound lanes of I-10 will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Saturday. The eastbound lanes will be closed from Saturday at 10 p.m. to Sunday at 8 a.m.
Drive safely and have a great weekend!
