[TexasTowelie]

Interstate 10 at Texas 99, the Grand Parkway, will be shut down in both directions this weekend during construction of connectors between the two highways.

The closure starts at 9 p.m. Friday and is scheduled to end at 5 a.m. Monday, according to an announcement from the Texas Department of Transportation.

Lone Star Construction workers will be installing beams for the direct connector between the Grand Parkway and westbound I-10.

During the closure, drivers will exit the main lanes at Texas 99 and go through the intersection on the frontage road before re-entering the main lanes.

1. I'm so glad I don't live on that side of town.

It's quite weird driving on a highway that's Eighteen Lanes Across!

2. I am suppose to go to a funeral in San Antonio for one of my aunts this weekend

I guess that I may have to take a detour to get on I-10

3. Then I'm glad to provide the alert so that you can avoid the mess.

My condolences for the loss in your family. Safe travels to you.

4. I knew about it

The flashing signs on the freeway have been warning about this for a while. Unfortunately, I have no choice on the timing of this memorial.

The navigation unit will give a way around of this mess
