For a full list of lane closures on Hwy. 290 this weekend, go here. Workers on the Texas Department of Transportation Project to widen Hwy. 290 between Loop 610 and FM 2920 are preparing to complete another milestone this weekend. As a result, major closures are planned along eastbound Hwy. 290 mainlanes, including connector ramps to Loop 610 and I-10.

Hwy. 290 eastbound mainlanes from Bingle Road to Loop 610

• Total closure overnight from 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 4, to 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 5. Local law enforcement will be on site to facilitate traffic through signalized intersections. TxDOT officials said drivers should expect heavy delays and are encouraged to seek alternate routes, such as Hempstead Road.

Detours

• Drivers looking to access Loop 610 North can detour to the Hwy. 290 frontage road, turn left on W. 18th Street, then turn left onto the Loop 610 frontage road.
• Drivers looking to access Loop 610 West can detour to the Hwy. 290 frontage road, continue past W. 18th Street, turn right on Hempstead Road, turn left on N. Post Oak and follow the road to the Loop 610 frontage road.
• Drivers looking to access I-10 can detour to the Hwy. 290 frontage road, continue past W. 18th Street, turn left on Hempstead Road and follow as it turns to Washington Avenue and connects to I-10.

From 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 5, to 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 7, the outside mainlane will reopen allowing drivers to access entrance and exit ramps as well as Loop 610 and I-10 direct connectors. However, two inside mainlanes will remain closed from Pinemont Drive to the I-10 direct connector, which will continue to cause traffic delays. After the road reopens, eastbound traffic will be switched to new pavement, TxDOT officials said. See the map below for more details on how to get around the closures this weekend.
