Washburn Tunnel to close every weekend this month No description found
HOUSTON – The Washburn Tunnel will be closed every weekend for the rest of the month for repairs.
The northern entrance to the tunnel, which runs beneath the Houston Ship Channel between Galena Park and Pasadena, was damaged in a wreck involving an 18-wheeler in late 2010.
The tunnel will be closed during these periods:
12 a.m. March 16 to 4 a.m. March 19
12 a.m. March 23 to 4 a.m. March 26
12 a.m. March 30 to 4 a.m. April 2
The Lynchberg Ferry's weekend hours are being extended to help ease congestion in the area. It will operate from 4:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. each weekend day the tunnel is closed.
Alternate routes include the 610 East Loop bridge, the East Sam Houston Parkway North toll bridge and the Highway 146/Fred Heartman bridge.
