Downtown Ramp Closing

You may need to plan a new route when navigating the downtown area. The Texas Department of Transportation is closing the I-45 Gulf Freeway ramp to I-69/288 southbound on Friday, January 25 at 9 pm. The closure will be permanent. TxDOT will close and demolish the ramp that thousands of drivers use on a regular basis to navigate downtown, and build a new one. The current I-69/288 southbound ramp exits to the left from the northbound lanes of the Gulf Freeway, which has long-plagued the interchange with weaving drivers who slow traffic and cause serious accidents, according to officials.
