HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston commuters who frequent the 610/288 interchange will need to plan a way around a major, long-term closure that got underway this weekend.

As part of the I-610 Cambridge project, the SH 288 northbound and southbound direct connectors to I-610 South Loop westbound are closed until mid-February, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. The closure began Friday night just before the start of the weekend.
