• A historic winter snowstorm is about to hit Houston, be prepared

Here’s the organization’s statement in-full:

Due to inclement weather conditions, the Toll Road Authority will close the Westpark Tollway and Fort Bend Parkway tonight, January 20, 2025 after rush hour. These roads are expected to reopen tomorrow, weather permitting.

Additionally, along the Grand Parkway from the Westpark Tollway to US 59, overpasses will be closed tonight after rush hour and traffic still on the road will use the at-grade mainlanes and ramps then go through the cross street intersections. The exception to this are the sections between West Airport and Highway 90A, and between New Territory and River Park. These two sections will remain open as long as maintenance crews can prevent icing on the Brazos River and Oyster Creek and Owens Road bridges. The Grand Parkway is also expected to reopen tomorrow, weather permitting.
