On Thursday night, Texas Department of Transportation will close ramps for the I-10 White Oak Bayou Elevation Project. The eastbound I-10 connector to I-45 North will be closed from 10 p.m. on Thursday until mid-2028. The ramp from North Freeway southbound to Katy Freeway westbound, including the HOV connector, will be closed until mid-2026. Drivers can use alternate routes like the I-610 West Loop, according to KHOU.
I-10 westbound will have lane closures between I-45 and Taylor from 10 p.m. on Friday to 5 a.m. on Monday for mainlane reconfiguration, reducing lanes to two up to Houston Avenue until at least mid-2026. These closures are part of the $400 million White Oak Bayou project, which aims to elevate I-10 to prevent flooding during major storms, as reported by ABC13.
Weekend travelers should expect full closures and detours, with northbound I-45 drivers advised to use I-610 West to reach I-10 westbound. The Houston Avenue bridge is also being reconstructed, and the HOV interchange will no longer provide exits to I-10 westbound, though it still allows downtown access.
