Katy Freeway HOV on the move

The road work that's quickly paving over the entire west side of Houston means another change for drivers on the Katy Freeway: The entrance to the westbound HOV lanes will move a mile west until April to accommodate reconstruction of the West Loop interchange. The Northwest Transit Center won't be affected.

For your Katy Freeway news fix, there's a pretty helpful website about the project. For those of you on the west side, it gives frequent updates on where you can and can't go in a particular week; for Houstonist, it's a gentle reminder why we've avoided the Katy altogether since construction began.
