(Houston, Texas)--This weekend starting at 7 p.m. Friday, November 7 until 5 a.m. Monday, alternate lanes of I-10/Katy Freeway will be closed between Barker Cypress and Fry Road. Freeway traffic just west of Barker Cypress will be temporarily detoured around construction as contractors complete the drainage culvert installations across the freeway. The contractor will close two lanes at a time, working from the north side of the freeway to south side. A minimum of two lanes of traffic in each direction will remain open throughout the weekend.
Also tonight from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Saturday, contractors working on the I-10/I-610 Interchange are scheduled to close one left lane of the direct connector from I-10 westbound to I-610 northbound and totally close the direct connector from I-10 eastbound to I-610 northbound (traffic will be detoured to exit I-610 southbound and U-turn at Woodway to proceed to I-610 northbound.)
