Traffic to A&M

Depending on when you hit Houston, 290 is a beast and the traffic sucks worse than Auburn. Take the hov if you can if you go 290.

Also, if traveling all the way thru Houston, I-10 at the Grand Parkway(exit 743) will be closed in both directions from 9PM Friday until 5AM Monday.

Beside the closure of I-10 on the Basin, once you get back on I-10, take it all the way to Beaumont. Take 287/69 north in Beaumont, drive 2 miles and take the Exit for Highway 105 West (right by the Academy Sports Store). Take 105 West to Cleveland, then Conroe, then Navasota. Then take Highway 6 North to College Station. It will save you 30 miles and it will be a lot faster than going through Houston, especially between 3 - 7 on a Friday afternoon. If you have to go through Houston, take the Beltway around Houston, then pick up 290 to Highway 6 north. This is probably 30 minutes slower without traffic.
