HOUSTON --
There's a traffic alert this weekend on Highway 290. If you travel in the area of 290 and 610, you know there's a lot of activity and closures, all part of construction on that interchange. New closures include the 290 eastbound exit ramp to Mangum-Dacoma. It's closed and won't reopen until Monday morning.
Also be aware of alternating lane closures on the main eastbound lanes of 290 from 34th street to Mangum and 34th Street to Dacoma.
The closures are so crew can begin construction on columns for the new connector ramp to I-10.
