Spent the night at the TA in Baytown. Was wondering why everything was so quiet! Shut down at Winnie AND Channelview. Plan accordingly.
Dave_in_AZ and NavigatorWife Thank this. -
ONe post said to use SH 225 as an alternate. That is near Baytown area,
Just passing by Thanks this. -
Yeah. I came down 146 to Pasadena and it was all clear. But everyone should check google traffic for road closures.
