I noticed it this morning. The new ramp is super tall (SB 610 to NB 59) It's not that bad I kinda like the new interchange 🤔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It was hard to tell but it appeared people were navigating the Chimney Rock bridge tonight (I-69 south). Would be the first day I've seen that open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 610 at Bellaire being demolished. I thought it was an attractive freeway. Hopefully the new build will look pretty too. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 They opened the new Chimney Rock exit on I-69. Drove it tonight... gotta say, I liked it that it bypasses all the oncoming traffic from 610, but it is not smooth at all. Bunch of random "hills" in the roads particularly under the 610 mainlanes... here's to hoping it's not the finished product.

BigFootsSocks Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I still can't get over how bad the new 59/69 north flyover is from 610 with the convoluted signage. It makes you think the exit is after the 59/69 south exit, and that the lane you're supposed to be in is an exit only for the south exit. Going north used to be quick because you could drive in the third lane and pass all the cars stopped going south. Now you have to wait in line with them. It's quicker to exit Westheimer and go through the light to get onto the new on-ramp than it is staying on 610. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
