Overview
- Transportation and utility crews have confirmed coordinated overnight closures on I-10 that will stop traffic for short periods to allow CenterPoint to remove overhead power lines and TxDOT to complete construction work.
- The CenterPoint operation will affect both main lanes and feeder roads at the Garth Road interchange and will require a brief full highway shutdown during the overnight work window.
- TxDOT is also scheduling a broader I-10 closure over the same weekend between Cedar Lane and Bayou Drive with signed detours directing eastbound traffic off at Magnolia Avenue and back onto the I-10 frontage road via River Road and Market Street.
- A separate, ongoing closure of the I-45 northbound frontage road in Galveston County remains in effect with its own detour pattern, creating multi-location impacts for drivers across the region.
- Officials urge drivers to allow extra travel time, follow posted signs through work zones, and use local traffic maps or alerts to navigate the temporary closures and reduced freeway lighting.
