Spur 527
In case you haven’t noticed the destruction of Spur 527 (a.k.a. the “downtown split” of 59) that occured a few months ago, you’ll probably be surprised that the City of Houston actually has a website detailing all of the construction that is going on in that area, expected completion, and suggested alternate routes.
There’s even a real time closure report available. Too bad we don’t have Internet access in our cars…
By the way, don’t be expecting Spur 527 to come back anytime soon. Expected completion: February 2007.
