Traffic: Southwest Freeway at 610 West Loop to be closed in both directions starting Friday at 9 p.m.!

Houston, Texas (KTRK) – If you’re making your way to the Galleria area this weekend, beware of the bad traffic that will get in your way.

Beginning Friday at 9 p.m., the southwest highway at I-610 West Loop will be closed in both directions until 5 a.m. Monday.

There are detours that drivers can take, such as Richmond Street, but it would be best to avoid the area throughout the weekend.

Closures are necessary as crews work to demolish more of the older remaining I-610 Loop bridge.

Construction, which began in 2017, is entering its fifth year.

The project is said to be adding capacity to the intersections by creating two ramps and adding shoulders to the West Loop Bridge.

Remodeling is estimated to be completed in 2024.
