Traffic alert: Weekend closure of I-610 West Loop at I-69 Southwest Freeway

HOUSTON – As part of the I-610 West Loop/ I-69 Southwest Freeway interchange project, the Texas Department of Transportation will close all southbound mainlanes of I-610 West Loop at I-69 Southwest Freeway Friday, February 9 at 9 p.m. until Sunday, February 11 at 3 p.m.

Crews will continue work on the new I-610 West Loop southbound bridge over Westpark Drive.

This closure, as well as other related closures for the project and detour information, can be found at the I-610 West Loop/ I-69 Southwest Freeway interchange project website.

Motorists should expect delays this weekend and may want to consider an alternate route. Police officers will be onsite to assist with traffic control.

The I-69/I-610 interchange is a major connection point of two extremely busy highways serving the Greater Houston area. The $259 million project will significantly enhance safety and improve mobility by widening the connector ramps to two lanes, increasing sight distances, and providing remedies to eliminate weaving. The project is anticipated to be completed in late 2024.

Additional road closure information will be posted at Houston TranStar and at I-610 West Loop/ I-69 Southwest Freeway interchange project website. Follow this project on Twitter for updates and more.
