HOUSTON – The Chevron Houston Marathon is Sunday, and even if you're not participating or watching, it could impact your weekend.
It's a big event, which means there will be a lot of road closures.
There will be dozens of closures, including a busy freeway exit ramp. That ramp is at the 610 West Loop (southbound) exiting to Hidalgo/Richmond.
Route
Organizers have compiled a helpful interactive map showing which streets will be closed, as well as what time they will close and re-open.
