HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- If you're hitting the road this weekend, you may want to plan ahead for two major freeway closures.

IH-69 and US-59

All northbound lanes from Fondren to Bellaire Blvd will be shut down for emergency repairs starting at 9 p.m. Friday until 5:00 a.m. Monday.

For an alternate route, take the Westpark Tollway or Bellaire.

US-290

All eastbound lanes will be shut down at Huffmeister and westbound on Highway 6 starting at 8 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday. For an alternate route, take the feeder.
