HUNTSVILLE – TxDOT will have a full closure of the southbound main lanes of IH 45 in Huntsville beginning 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 23, weather permitting. The closure is needed to complete striping to move southbound traffic onto new concrete pavement.
Traffic will be diverted to the IH 45 frontage road at Exit 116 and will be able to reenter IH 45 southbound using the entrance across from The Home Depot. The closure is anticipated to be completed by 5 a.m. Thursday, April 24.
Law enforcement officers will be on site to help guide motorist safely through the detour. TxDOT urges drivers to plan ahead and exercise caution through the detour area.
This is part of the $200 million reconstruction of IH 45 that involves replacing the four-lane freeway with a six-lane freeway with concrete media in Walker County. The project is anticipated to be completed in fall 2027.
