Here's the denouement: Decided to take Waze's advice and wound up on 290 between BW8 and 610, which was stop and go. This was mollified by seeing the HOV lane completely stopped (at least 5 miles) by a bad rear-ender, and we just rolled on by them. I bet at least a third of the cars trapped were not HOV, from what I saw.

Once on 610, it was a breeze.

I love this forum - thank you all for your help.

Sorry, when I said tolls are OK, I do have a TxTag, good every where around Houston. Looks like it's Grand Parkway to I-10.

Thanks everyone for the input.

Will be passing thru Houston this Friday morning 8-9am, entering the area on US 290 going southeast, exiting I-10 eastbound.

I know traffic will be a disaster regardless, but wanted some recommendations on the best path. Tolls are OK.
