If you are eventually going northbound on either US59 (I-69) or I-45, take US69/287 north from Beaumont then US105 westbound through Sour Lake to Cleveland or on to Conroe.
Small correction. You mean take TX-105 (a state highway, not a US highway) west in Beaumont from US-69/287. Also note that there is a FM-105 (a Farm to Market road in Texas) heading north around I-10 exit 861 in Vidor that you SHOULD NOT TAKE. The identical numbers get some people confused. Note the highway signs and turns around Cleveland to stay on TX-105 and use the loop bypassing the town. There is also a loop to bypass downtown Conroe for access to I-45.
TxGearhead's advice is good and will bypass the temporary delay and most of the Houston metropolitan area. Since I live north of Houston now, I rarely use I-10 between Houston and Beaumont.
^^^Good catch on the 105 designation. And yeah that FM 105 out of Vidor will mess you up. We have a farm between Vidor and Mauriceville. Whenever I get north of Vidor I get turned around. I call it "my Bermuda triangle". Wife or I never lived there, but we run over there from Liberty regularly.
I had to go to Santa Fe (Texas) yesterday to get that piece of junk Pinnacle washer/dryer out of a repair shop. I-45 southbound and northbound around League City is a disaster. I truly believe they have been working on that road since the 1950's.
