HOUSTON – If you’re headed out this weekend, here’s a heads-up on a few closures happening. KPRC 2 Traffic Expert Anavid Reyes reached out to the Texas Department of Transportation, and they said closures that are already in place, will remain in place. These closures are weather-dependent, and could be rescheduled due to inclement conditions. Drive carefully!

Gulf Freeway
- IH-45 Gulf Freeway southbound between FM 528 and SH 96 two alternating lanes will be closed starting Friday, March 24 at 9pm until Monday, March 27 at 5 a.m. To facilitate the work, crews will also need to close the I-45 eastbound ramp to the NASA Flyover, the I-45 southbound exit ramp to FM 518, I-45 southbound exit ramp to SH 96, and the I-45 southbound entrance ramp from Bay Area Blvd. at the same time as the I-45 mainlane closure.

North Freeway
- The southbound I-45 North Freeway service road, south of Cypresswood Drive, is closed due to the Cypress Creek Bridge being reconstructed by TxDOT. If you need to get a location south of the area towards FM-1960, you need to get on the main lanes of I-45 and exit at Richey Road.
