Parts of Hardy Toll Rd. will be closed temporarily while crews work to restore power

HOUSTON – As CenterPoint Energy continues to restore power to the Greater Houston area, some parts of Hardy Toll Road will be affecting some drivers’ commutes.

EXPLAINER: Why are CenterPoint Energy workers sitting, waiting at staging areas?

According to the Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA) there will be a total closure of the north and southbound main lanes on the Hardy Toll Rd. from the Parker Rd. exit map to the start of I-610 starting Friday, July 12 at 11 a.m.

Out of an abundance of caution, HCTRA says, drivers and workers in the area should be aware of the following segments that will be closed:

• The westbound I-610 entrance ramp to the northbound Hardy Toll Road will also be closed.
• The southbound Crosstimbers Street exit ramp will also be closed.
• Drivers traveling southbound will be detoured to take the Parker Road/Tidwell Road exit ramp.

HCTRA could not provide a timeframe on when the roadways would re-open, as of this writing.
