Houston Baws-what’s the best route to BR that avoids the bridge closure in Baytown?

Take the Loop.

Duh.

90 to Beaumont?

I do this every time but I am up here in Kingwood so its different for me.

Its 4 lanes down reduced to two lanes. Its not bad and on Friday leaving Cypress at noon will put you in the area around 1pm. You'll be fine.

I live in Cypress and havent any trouble since the closure.

Bridge is open with some of the lanes blocked off (all of the westbound lanes). Drove back on Sunday with maybe 5 minutes of delay.

regardless of the interstate's status.

Id tell you to ask Owlie but he can never seem to get across the state line



Thank god

I do this trip two days a week, live in Baton Rouge, work in Houston. I've done the 90 route, and I-10 route and neither have been miserably terrible since the storm a few weeks ago. You also need to plan your trip to account for Beaumont, Lake Charles, and Baton Rouge traffic if you are delayed leaving at noon or a little after. Lake Charles traffic in the afternoon is almost as bad as Baton Rouge traffic coming from the west.

Wow.. i thought i was hardcore since i used to do that trip twice a month in the Fall, for every LSU game in BR when i lived in Houston.. that trip twice a week could take a toll (pun intended) on one’s sanity, since that stretch of I10 is one of the most boring drives in America... Much respect to you.
