Icy road conditions are still causing problems for some drivers across Houston on Tuesday. We've got an in effect through noon Wednesday due to icy areas in parts of Southeast Texas and a hard freeze. Freezing rain, sleet, and some snow fell across southeast Texas on Monday. Meanwhile, temperatures have stayed below freezing, so some roadways, especially bridges and overpasses, still have some icy spots.
TxDOT crews worked overnight, trying to make the roadways safer for drivers. ABC13 sent a crew to check out some of the freeway stretches that caused problems on Monday. While many areas are looking dry and clear, there are still shiny, slick spots on overpasses and bridges. TxDOT crews treated the roadways with a brine mixture to help melt the ice.
According to , several freeway stretches in the Houston area are still closed. I 10 eastbound and westbound is closed starting at the I 610 West Loop. It is expected to reopen by 6 p.m. Tuesday. U.S. 290 is also closed eastbound and westbound starting at the Loop. TxDOT also expects it to reopen by 6 p.m.
I 69 is closed in both directions in Fort Bend County and on Houston's westside starting at the West Loop. A stretch of Beltway 8 is closed in both directions near the I 45 North Freeway in the Greenspoint area.
