North Freeway to shut down due to low-hanging power lines
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Traffic along I-45 North Freeway will have to be detoured due to a report of low-hanging power lines this afternoon.

The freeway will have to be closed for a brief time to make the repairs, authorities said.
Getting around Houston can sometimes be a challenge unless you know how to get around.
Northbound commuters can divert by taking I-10 westbound to Heights Boulevard and then head toward East 20th Street. Another option is to head eastbound on I-10 and take US-59/I-69 northbound to the North Loop.
Southbound drivers will want to exit Cavalcade and take Eastex Freeway or Studewood to I-10 Katy Freeway.
