Bridge construction closes two lanes of I-10 near the Heights for months
Starting Monday, January 13, a big construction project may impact your commute — TxDOT's I-10 White Oak Bayou project.
The five westbound lanes of traffic on the I-10 Katy Freeway in the Heights area will be cut down to just three open lanes.
The Taylor Street exit is closed, and that's where the lanes taper down to three. All five westbound lanes reopen again near the Heights Boulevard exit.
One of the biggest pieces of the project is that Houston Avenue will run under I-10 — so there will be no more Houston Avenue Bridge.
The Houston Avenue Bridge is the one that gets hit by 18-wheelers dozens of times a year, typically resulting in hours-long traffic backups.
