TranStar Press Release

US 290 Westbound closed at 43rd St

Jul 22nd, 2011

Vehicles will be diverted to frontage road past Bingle

Houston TranStar officials are notifying area travelers that all lanes are closed on US 290 westbound at 43rd St. because of a major accident. Vehicles will be diverted off the freeway at 43rd, then allowed to re-enter the freeway after Bingle.

Because the situation is expected to remain through the rush hour, travelers should expect long delays on US 290.

Travelers are urged to use these either I-10 West to Beltway 8 or I-45 North to SH 249 as alternate routes.

Houston TranStar is a collaboration between four government agencies that coordinate and enhance transportation and emergency management services, responding to incidents and emergencies in Harris County and beyond. Sharing their resources to serve area residents are: the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Harris County, Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) and the City of Houston.
