HOUSTON - Houston drivers will need to find an alternate route as a portion of I-45 will be closed for the weekend.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation-Houston District, emergency repairs will be made to the I-45North Freeway near McKinney Street near downtown which means several roads will be closed beginning Saturday at 4 a.m. until Oct. 9.
These closures include all I-45 Gulf northbound mainlanes at I-69, says Houston TranStar.
Houston TranStar will detour all traffic from the I-45 connector to I-69 northbound and southbound.
Drivers should continue northbound on I-45 northbound to the I-69 northbound direct connector, then follow the I-69 northbound to the I-610 North Loop westbound. They can then follow I-610 North Loop westbound to IH 45 north or southbound.
Drivers should consider planning an alternate route for their drive.
