Beginning at 8:00 PM Friday, November 10, 2023, and ending at 5:00 AM on Sunday November 12, 2023, IH 45 Southbound will be fully closed at Exit 113. This closure is needed to allow the contractor to place barrier on the new concrete pavement. Upon completion of the barrier placement, IH 45 Southbound traffic will be switched onto the new concrete pavement. During this closure, IH 45 Southbound traffic will exit at Exit 113 and will be able to re-enter IH 45 at the entrance across from the Toyota Dealership.
Once IH 45 Southbound traffic has been switched to the new concrete pavement, Exit 112 will be closed to allow for the construction of the remainder of the IH 45 Southbound main lanes and exit at this location. IH 45 Southbound Exit 113 will remain open. Additionally, the IH 45 Southbound Entrance across from the Toyota Dealership will be closed during this time. Motorists will need to utilize the IH 45 Southbound Entrance that is south of Veteran’s Memorial Parkway.
To alert drivers to the change, changeable message signs will be placed in advance of the area where the traffic switch will occur. The speed limit is reduced to 60 MPH on IH 45 main lanes throughout the limits of the project and 40 MPH and 45 MPH on the frontage roads. Drivers should exercise caution and be prepared for delays during construction.
