TxDOT Lane Closures Around Downtown Houston Begin

Some people jokingly wonder how many generations have worked on Texas Interstate 45. But there is no joke, because the main route through the 4^th largest city in the United States IS always under construction. One of the newest major reconfigurations has begun. Many agencies have made announcements to keep the public aware for future travel through Houston or on their way to work downtown.

The Houston Police Department (HPD) posted the following information on their Facebook page: “The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will close the Houston Avenue southbound and Allen Parkway eastbound entrance ramps to I-45 southbound on Friday, July 8, to begin construction on new ramps that will improve traffic flow and enhance safety.

There will also be additional closures to prepare for the bridge and ramp construction at this location.

The Houston Avenue bridge will be completed in late September/ early October of this year and the Houston Avenue/ Rusk and Allen Parkway entrance ramps to I-45 southbound will be open in late November/ early December.

Also be sure to visit the Houston TranStar website for a complete list of closures related to this construction project and other Houston District closures. All closures are subject to change due to inclement weather.”

The press release from TxDOT, “Two Entrance Ramps To I-45 Southbound In The Downtown Houston Area To Be Reconstructed”, can be found on their website.

For more information on scheduled lane closures, visit the Houston TranStar website at www.houstontranstar.org for a complete list related to this construction project and other Houston District closures.
