HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Drivers heading through downtown Houston will have to reconsider their usual route starting Friday night.
TxDOT has announced the closure of two major interstate ramps as part of the Elysian Viaduct reconstruction.
The ramp closures begin Friday, Nov. 1 at 9 p.m. and are not scheduled to reopen until Sunday, February 23, 2020.
Here's the full list of closures:
US-59 northbound connector ramp to I-10 westbound
TxDOT is planning additional lane closures along I-10 through downtown and on nearby streets and entrance ramps surrounding the Elysian Viaduct.
The reconstruction began in 2017. It's a major connector into downtown, and while these interstate ramps should reopen in February, the Elysian Viaduct is not scheduled for completion until Spring 2020.
