Roadwork to close West Loop north into Galleria this weekend

Motorists hoping to use the West Loop in Bellaire to go north through the Galleria area this weekend should consider making other plans.

Starting at 9 p.m. Friday (Dec. 10), all mainlanes of the West Loop northbound at I-69 through Richmond Avenue will be closed for reconstruction of the interchange, through 5 a.m. Monday. Traffic will be detoured to the Westheimer exit.

The work is part of the $259 million multi-year project to improve the interchange.
