HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Lanes reopened early on the I-610 West Loop on Sunday while undergoing construction as part of the Texas Department of Transportation’s interchange project.
TxDOT initially announced that closures could be expected until Monday, July 18 at 5 a.m.
While construction continues on the new I-610 northbound mainlane bridge over I-69, the work that took place this weekend reopened the I-610 West Loop northbound exit to Westheimer, which had been closed since January.

The I-69/I-610 interchange is a major connection point between two extremely busy highways serving the Greater Houston area.
TxDOT says the $259 million project will significantly enhance safety and improve mobility by widening the connector ramps to two lanes, increasing sight distances, and providing remedies to eliminate weaving.
