The Texas Department of Transportation said the roadway, closed and reopened earlier in the day due to bridge repairs, will not shut down at 6 p.m.
According to TxDOT, closure information it sent to media organizations, including ABC13, about U.S. 90A from Hiram Clarke to Chimney Rock/Fort Bend Tollway was incorrect.
TxDOT said no closure will take place in the evening.
The highway was closed in both directions, beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Texas Department of Transportation scheduled a reopening at 8 a.m. Wednesday, but it didn't actually happen until about 9:30 a.m.
The closure set off a traffic nightmare for commuters heading into Houston.
