Travelers along Hwy. 290 are getting a break this holiday season, according to officials with the Texas Department of Transportation. "With the anticipated increase in travelers this weekend, there will be no scheduled lane closures from 9 p.m., Friday, Dec. 23 to 5 a.m., Tuesday, Dec. 27," TxDOT Public Information Officer Karen Othon said in a statement released earlier this week.
Last night, the contractor working on Hwy. 290 westbound mainlanes within Project I—from W. 34th to just west of Pinemont—switched traffic to new pavement on the north side of the freeway. With the switch completed, the new westbound entrance ramp from Antoine Drive has reopened, as has the westbound exit ramp to Hollister/Tidwell.
