HOUSTON - It looks like with the wet winter weather, most overnight construction projects will be put on hold.
One area to watch for this weekend (weather permitting, of course) is 610 North Loop from I-10 the Baytown East Freeway all the way to 59 Eastex Freeway. That entire section will be closed starting at 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Sunday. Just use the signage in the area for your detour.
Also, emergency officials are warning motorists to stay off the roadways if possible and to drive with extreme caution, especially on elevated freeways and fly-overs. They will have 'spotters' out all night driving around Houston monitoring areas of concern and they will bring in law enforcement to make the call if an area of roadway or a fly-over needs to be shut down.
We'll start traffic reports at 4 am Friday, so tune in if you have any concerns about your commute, otherwise, you can report areas to the city hotline - just dial 311 or call TXDOT's road conditions hotline at 1-800-452-9292.
Good Luck out there, be safe and cancel your plans if you have to! It's not worth your life and pack some extra cold weather clothes in the car just in case your car breaks down or you do have an incident and are stranded.
Let me know if you see anything of concern, or if you have any questions! And if you're able (and safe!) send in a snapshot of some ice or SNOW!
