All lanes on 59 southbound are funneled into the far left lane. The HOV lane entrance by Reeves furniture is open, but traffic is backed up to Kingwood Drive. All southbound feeder road lanes are open.
Even Sorters is backed up to Kingwood Drive due to people trying to use it as an alternative route.
Best bet at the time I crossed if you have to go that route is to take Kingwood Drive to the feeder road. It only put me 20 minutes behind normal times.
So to clarify the misleading title, 59 South is NOT closed, but some lanes are. 4951
