Houston Traffic on Monday: I-69 Ramps Reopen at 5 A.M., New I-10 Frontage and Pederson Ramp Closures Begin
The overnight I-69 Southwest ramp closures end at 5 a.m. Monday, just ahead of the drive. What replaces them on Houston TranStar's board is daytime work: an I-10 eastbound frontage lane from Patterson to Heights through Tuesday, and total ramp closures at Pederson Road in Brookshire through Wednesday.
HOUSTON - Two of the closures Houston drivers sat in overnight come off the board at 5 a.m. Monday. Houston TranStar's construction report ends the nightly total closure of the I-69 Southwest northbound entrance ramp from Southmore Boulevard with Monday morning, and the continuous total closure of the I-69 northbound connector ramp to U.S. 59 southbound likewise runs until 5 a.m. Monday - both reopened ahead of the morning drive, on TranStar's posted schedule.
The daytime board is not empty. On the Katy corridor, one inside lane of the I-10 eastbound frontage road from Patterson Street to Heights Boulevard is closed daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 2-3 - a working-hours squeeze on the feeder drivers use to dodge mainlane work. Farther west, in Waller County, the I-10 westbound entrance ramp from Pederson Road and the exit ramp to Pederson Road in Brookshire are under total closure daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Wednesday, with TranStar directing drivers to the next exit at Igloo Road.
The longer-running nightly work continues underneath the daily items. Two inside lanes of I-10 eastbound from Studemont Street to I-45 Gulf / Hogan Street close nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. through the morning of Monday, Nov. 9, and two inside lanes of the I-610 West Loop northbound from Woodway Drive to Old Katy Road close nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. through the morning of Friday, Nov. 6.
All of the windows above are TranStar's posted schedule for construction work, not incident closures; the desk carries incident closures separately when the agency verifies them. Monday's practical read: the freeway system starts the week whole at 5 a.m., and the day's friction sits on frontage roads and ramps rather than mainlanes.
