The KTRK (link up top) has a lot of traffic cams. I-45 a parking lot. Why no contraflow?

Why no contraflow? That's what I was wondering.

Why no contraflow? They have some of the freeway interchanges closed for entry and exit to keep folks flowing one direction, the HOV lanes are open to all traffic and the tolls roads are free.
I don't know how practical it would be to switch lane directions near the city. There would be a massive amount of ramps to close and monitor and it would hamper emergency vehicles.

They just reported on the Dallas local news station that I-45 from Houston to Huntsville is all North bound.....southbound lanes are closed and all lanes are now being used to help the traffic flow north out of Houston.
