Both directions of the East 610 Loop are expected to be completely open in time for the Friday morning rush hour after Thursday’s massive water main break that caused a flood across the mainlanes.
Texas Department of Transportation said it expected to reopen the southbound lanes of the East Loop at Clinton sometime in the 10 p.m. hour Thursday.
The northbound mainlanes should be reopened in time for the Friday morning commute.

Early Thursday morning, water was receding and workers in heavy machinery swept away debris.
Meanwhile, the city of Houston, except for Kingwood, has been under a boil water notice lasting 24 hours. Mayor Sylvester Turner insisted the water is safe, but as a precaution, issued the advisory.
