From the Chronicle's Carolyn Feibel:
A short stretch of eastbound I-10 near downtown will be completely closed all weekend. It will re-open Monday morning, but with only one through lane.
The good news is that the oldest, most-patched stretch of Houston's I-10 is finally getting a new roadbed. The bad news is that the 2.2 mile interstate stretch downtown, between I-45 and U.S. 59, is going to be under construction for the next 18 months.
The complete closure of the eastbound side starts at 9 p.m. tonight and ends at 5 a.m. Monday. Crews will be re-striping lanes and putting up barriers for the work to come.
On Monday, the road reopens but the eastbound capacity will drop by 50 percent, from the normal two through lanes to just one. That will last about three months, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
