KHOU-11 provides details of the Katy Freeway closure this weekend and how to get around it:
According to TXDOT, the main lanes of I-10 eastbound and westbound, including the HOV lanes, between Silber and Washington will be closed. The direct connectors from I-610 northbound and southbound to I-10 West will be closed from Friday 9 p.m. until Saturday 6 p.m.
I-10 Eastbound Traffic
Traffic will be detoured via the I-610 north and south direct connectors. Eastbound drivers can go south, exit Woodway and make a U-turn to access I-10 east by way of the I-610 northbound to I-10 east connector. Or, north on I-610 and exit 18th Street, make a U-turn to access I-610 southbound to the I-10 east connector.
I-10 Westbound Traffic
There will be four options for I-10 westbound travelers.
1. Exit Washington Ave. to Old Katy Road to re-enter I-10 westbound via the Silber entrance ramp.
2. Take I-610 north, exit 18th Street, make a U-turn to access Old Katy Road, re-enter I-10 westbound via the Silber entrance ramp.
3. I-610 southbound traffic destined for I-10 west will be detoured to Old Katy Road. Re-enter I-10 westbound via the Silber entrance ramp.
4. I-610 northbound traffic destined for I-10 west will be detoured to I-10 eastbound. Exit Washington and follow the detour to Old Katy Road to re-enter I-10 west using the Silber entrance ramp.
Once the mainlanes of I-10 eastbound are clean, the lanes will be reopened to traffic at or before 6 p.m. on Saturday.
