休斯顿I-10共乘车道将长关近两年 TxDOT宣布10月9日起封闭施工

休斯顿最繁忙的通勤走廊之一将迎来近两年的"阵痛期"。德克萨斯州交通厅(TxDOT)10月5日宣布,连接市中心与凯蒂高速(I-10)的东西双向共乘车道(HOV)将于10月9日晚9时起封闭。其中,东行HOV车道将从Studemont街起关闭,预计2027年秋季重开;西行HOV车道将从Franklin街起关闭,预计要到2028年夏季才能恢复通行。此次封闭是总投资约4.07亿美元的"I-10白橡湾抬升工程"的下一阶段。施工内容包括拆除并重建HOV连接段,整体工程旨在缓解这一路段长期以来的洪涝问题。交通部门提醒,封闭期间往返市中心与凯蒂走廊的驾驶人应预留额外时间或选择替代路线。作为美国第四大城市的主要东西向动脉,I-10凯蒂高速是全美最宽的高速公路之一,HOV车道长期关闭对拼车通勤族与公交快线都是不小的考验。资料来源:Chron、FOX 26 Houston
Houston's I-10 HOV Lanes to Close for Up to Two Years Starting October 9
One of Houston's busiest commuter corridors is facing up to two years of disruption. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) said on October 5 that it will close the eastbound and westbound high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes linking downtown Houston with the Katy Freeway (Interstate 10), starting Friday, October 9 at 9 p.m. The eastbound HOV lane from Katy toward downtown will close at Studemont Street, with reopening estimated for fall 2027; the westbound lane toward Katy will close at Franklin Street and is not expected to reopen until summer 2028. The closures mark the next phase of the roughly $407 million I-10 White Oak Bayou project, which will demolish and rebuild the HOV connection as part of a broader flood-mitigation effort. Anyone driving between downtown Houston and the Katy corridor should plan extra time or choose an alternate route. Source: Chron, FOX 26 Houston
