I69 southbound ramp to 610 will be closed for 2 years beginning 4/29/22
As part of the I-610 West Loop/ I-69 Southwest Freeway interchange project, the Texas Department of Transportation will close the I-69 Southwest Freeway southbound connector ramp to I-610 West Loop southbound beginning Friday 4/29/22 at 9 p.m. for two years.
During this closure, traffic will continue on the I-69 Southwest Freeway southbound mainlanes to the Fountain View Dr. exit ramp, U-turn at Fountain View Dr. and continue onto the first entrance ramp onto the IH 69 northbound mainlanes. Traffic will then take the I-69 northbound connector ramp to the I-610 southbound mainlanes.
To facilitate this work, there will be a number of additional ramp closures that will take place this coming weekend. These closures can be found at I-610 West Loop/ I-69 Southwest Freeway interchange project website at
www.dot.state.tx.us/ hou610at69/.
Also, starting Friday 5/6/22 at 9 p.m., crews will close the I-69 Southwest Freeway southbound exit ramp to Chimney Rock for about two months. Traffic will take the Fountain View exit ramp, U-turn at Fountain View onto IH 69 Northbound Frontage Rd. to reach Chimney Rock Rd.
These closures are part of the continued work on the I-610 West Loop mainlane bridge over I-69 Southwest Freeway and the reconstruction of the new I-69 Southwest Freeway southbound connector ramp to I-610 West Loop southbound.
Motorists should expect delays this weekend and may want to consider an alternate route. Police officers will be onsite to assist with traffic control.
The I-69/I-610 interchange is a major connection point of two extremely busy highways serving the Greater Houston area. 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.
