Straight through downtown, just not at rush hour. Be on your A game and don't get rattled. If you want some country scenery take the 105 north route but you will see some traffic around Conroe, especially Lake Conroe area. The south route will give you the Gulf of Mexico scenery but the Galveston seawall traffic.
^ What he said, but I don't think I've ever seen a time when the traffic didn't back up on US59/I69 South going through downtown after you leave I10 until a ways past downtown on the southwest side. There currently is construction at US59 and I610 southwest of town near the Galleria (as there often seems to be).
I just did the I-10 to 59 to 288 to Med Center. As usual it gets all gummed up right at Minute Maid Stadium.
The OP may be making laps around 610. Would like to hear what he did. I considered recommending he take 90 to 2100 to New Caney to 99. But I'm not sure how they deal with someone with no EZ TAG.
