High water shut down the right shoulder, right lane, and center lane on IH-69 Southwest southbound at Montrose Boulevard at 4:46 AM on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, according to Houston TranStar.
The closure came as crews worked to clear the affected stretch. Southbound drivers heading toward downtown or points beyond should expect delays through the affected corridor.
If you're traveling southwest on that route, consider taking US-59 frontage roads, Hillcroft or Fondren for local southwest segments, or switching to SH-288 for southbound travel. Those alternatives should help you avoid the backup.
Monitor local traffic updates for clearance time and lane reopening information. Harris County saw 13,548 incidents in the last 30 days, with five fatalities.
