Widening Work on I-10 West to Start Nov 27

The DOTD announced that permanent widening work for construction for the new westbound City Park Lake bridge will begin Nov 27, 2023 on I-10 West over City Park Lake. 

 

What to Expect:

  • Lane shift on the westbound side of the interstate between the Perkins Road on-ramp and Dalrymple Drive off-ramp, with temporary barriers placed along the outside lane to give crews room to work.
  • The westbound lanes will be more narrow and the shoulder will be removed.
  • DOTD urges drivers to pay close attention while moving through an active work zone, and expect additional delays.
 

ROAD CLOSURES STARTING N0V 27:

 

East Lakeshore Drive underneath I-10 will be closed between Fiero Street and Lake Hills Parkway for the next three years, with only local traffic allowed to pass.

Other Closures: 

  • S. 10th St. – Southbound left shoulder closure between Europe St. and S. Blvd. from 7 am to 5 pm on Nov. 21 and Nov. 22.
  • E. Harrison St. – Full closure between Virginia St. and Carolina St. from Nov. 27 through summer 2025.
