Overview

  • All main lanes of Interstate 10 near the West Sam Houston Tollway will be closed from 5 a.m. Saturday, April 26, to 5 a.m. Monday, April 28, for electric grid enhancements.
  • The closure impacts the westbound exit for the West Sam Houston Tollway (Exit 755) and the eastbound exit for Dairy Ashford (also Exit 755).
  • East- and westbound frontage roads will remain open to divert local traffic, with detour signage guiding drivers to alternate routes.
  • CenterPoint Energy is coordinating with TxDOT and law enforcement to ensure safety and smooth traffic management during the project.
  • The work is part of a broader initiative to strengthen Houston's electric grid and reduce outage risks as regional energy demands grow.
