As a result of a bridge strike, the northbound lanes of U.S. Highway 59/State Loop 287 in Lufkin are closed under the Chestnut Street/FM 58 overpass, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
Drivers experienced major delays around the US-59/I-610 interchange in the Galleria area this weekend.
The freeway will remain shut down until 5 a.m. Monday in both directions between the West Loop and South Rice.
On Sunday evening, crews were re-striping the mainlanes of I-69.
TxDOT had opened the brand new West Loop northbound connector to US-59 Southbound, so now the old one is coming down.
Crews completed the demolition of two old connector ramps over the I-69 SW Freeway mainlanes at I-610 W. Loop. Crews spent most of the day cleaning up. A striping crew will come in this evening to re-stripe the mainlanes of I-69. All mainlanes of I-69 will be open at 5am Monday. pic.twitter.com/xspZKf7aah HOU610at69 (@HOU610at69) March 8, 2021

Crews work to move the Southern Pacific 982 steam engine, located downtown between the George R. Brown Convention Center and Minute Maid Park, Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014, in Houston. The steam engine was hoisted by two 250-ton cranes and placed nearby in a temporary space to allow crews to level the tracks. The engine is scheduled to be moved back onto the tracks on Thursday.
