HOUSTON<\/strong> – Drivers planning to travel on I-10 East (Katy Freeway) this weekend should prepare for significant delays as a major shutdown<\/a> is in effect.<\/p>\n Katy Freeway shutdown <\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n The Katy Freeway is experiencing a full closure of its eastbound lanes from Shepherd Drive to Houston Avenue, creating a major headache for commuters.<\/p>\n Those coming into the city from the Katy area will be particularly impacted, as they will be forced off the highway well before their typical exit points.\u00a0<\/p>\n Authorities are urging drivers to seek alternate routes and allow for considerable extra travel time, especially during peak hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n Frontage roads are expected to bear the brunt of the diverted traffic, leading to heavy congestion throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n Local law enforcement and traffic management officials are on-site to help direct traffic and manage the flow.\u00a0<\/p>\n Future reconstruction<\/strong> <\/p>\n Big picture view:<\/p>\n Crews are making repairs this weekend, but the bridge is ultimately slated for a complete overhaul.<\/p>\n The Houston Avenue Bridge is scheduled for demolition in early 2027. It will be reconstructed to run under I-10 as part of the I-10 White Oak Bayou elevation project.<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> Information in this article comes from the Texas Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n Traffic<\/a>Houston<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HOUSTON – Drivers planning to travel on I-10 East (Katy Freeway) this weekend should prepare for significant delays…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":607685,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5130],"tags":[4345,50,358,314,3187,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-607684","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-houston","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-texas","11":"tag-traffic","12":"tag-tx","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116113256532103000","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607684\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/607685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
