What to Expect Today – Sunday, February 22, 2026, in Houston

Expect heavier-than-usual traffic near major dining hubs like Upper Kirby, Midtown, and the Heights as locals flock to patio spots. Be aware of bridge repair closures on IH-610 South Loop Westbound (Telephone Rd to Broadway St) and IH-69 Eastex Northbound (Cavalcade to IH-610), which may cause significant detours if you’re traveling between central Houston and the suburbs.
