A multitude of sports events are happening in the Houston area this weekend. The Texas Children's Houston Open is underway at Memorial Park. The home opener for the Houston Astros was Thursday afternoon at Daikin Park and was followed by two Sweet 16 games at the Toyota Center in the evening. It's safe to say drivers can continue to expect some heavy traffic.
TxDOT initially said pavement repairs were going to take place on I-10 near Memorial Park this weekend. ABC13 learned on Friday that the closures on the eastbound mainlanes of I-10 Katy Freeway from I-610 West Loop/US 290 to Washington Avenue and Westcott have since been postponed.
Still happening this weekend, a frontage road closure for the White Oak Bayou project will force more traffic onto the I-10 mainlanes and nearby White Oak Drive in the Heights near downtown Houston, according to TxDOT.
TxDOT also announced that the I-10 Katy frontage road from Studemont Street to Heights Boulevard will be closed starting at 10 p.m. on March 27, until 5 a.m. on March 30.
Furthermore, TxDOT said that the I-10 westbound exit ramp to Heights Boulevard will be closed at 10 p.m. on March 27, until further notice.
