Major milestone: New ramps to open at SH-288 and 610 South Loop

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- This weekend, you will notice a big milestone in the Highway 288 toll lanes project.

Two new direct connector ramps are opening at the South Loop interchange.

The 610 eastbound ramp to SH-288 northbound will open, as well as the 610 westbound ramp to SH-288 southbound.

You will still see the old ramps, but not for long.
