Rider Alert: Major TxDOT Project May Impact METRO Services Through Next Week

Release Date: June 11, 2021
Media Hot Line: 713.739.4040

Beginning today, a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) reconstruction project involving the weekend closure of the Interstate 69 main lanes will require several METRO routes to detour and may cause delays. Additionally, a prolonged closure of the two major connector ramps at I-69 and Loop 610, will require traffic patterns to adjust over the next week and may result in some route delays.

The impacted routes will include:

• 32 Renwick / San Felipe
• 82 Westheimer
• 152 Harwin Express
• 153 Harwin Express
• 160 Memorial City Express
• 161 Wilcrest Express
• 162 Memorial Express

According to TxDOT, the northbound connector ramp from I-69 to northbound Loop 610 is closed until early 2022. On Monday, June 14, the southbound connector ramp from I-69 to northbound Loop 610 will close until late 2021. Crews will demolish both ramps during the closure and replace them with new, higher two-lane ramps in the same locations.

When planning your trip, please allow additional travel time. Real-time departure and arrival predictions using METRO's TRIP App and Next Bus Arrival Texting may experience inaccuracies for routes that are near the impacted areas.

Please monitor METRO's Twitter and Facebook pages for updates. METRO also offers real-time information through its service alerts system.
