HOUSTON — It's caused some heavy delays in southwest Houston this week, and now it appears they'll continue for a little while longer.

Road crews have had a number of southbound lanes of I-69/US 59 at Gessner closed while they perform bridge work.

Now, TxDOT officials say that work will continue, though they expect it to be completed later this week.
