HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Drivers in some parts of southeast Texas woke up Tuesday to ice on major roadways as a hard freeze settled in overnight following a winter storm that sent temperatures plummeting.
Houston TranStar reports that three roadways are closed and being treated for ice.
All IH-45 northbound lanes between the Galveston Causeway Bridge and the Highway 6 to SH-146 interchange were shut down at 3 a.m. The Texas Department of Transportation said the roadway is undergoing treatment, and traffic has begun moving at a steady pace.

One northbound lane and the shoulder at SH-146 at Port Road near Manvel were impacted as crews treated the area, which was roped off at 5 a.m. TranStar cameras later showed traffic flowing without issues.
Both left and right-hand interchange ramps on Beltway 8 eastbound at IH-69 Eastex Freeway had reports of ice near Humble.
All statuses are available live on Houston TranStar’s website and the ABC13 mobile app.
An Extreme Cold Warning remains in effect until noon on Tuesday, and the forecast indicates another drop in temperatures this upcoming weekend.
