The I-45 southbound lane closure postponed from the weekend will instead take place tonight, according to a League City press release.

From 8 p.m. Wednesday through 6 a.m. Thursday, the southbound I-45 lanes between FM 518 and Hwy. 96 will be closed for workers to restripe the road. Drivers will be detoured to the FM 518 exit and will continue along the frontage road through a signaled intersection before getting back onto I-45 at Hwy. 96, according to the release.

The northbound exit ramp to Hwy. 96 and the northbound entrance ramp from FM 646 will also be closed during the same period.

Northbound drivers trying to reach Hwy. 96 will need to exit at FM 646 and continue on the frontage road, and those entering northbound I-45 lanes from FM 646 will instead need to drive on the frontage road until the next available entrance ramp, according to the release.
