I-10 Huebner project update

A few weeks ago, Vianna Davila accurately reported the upcoming restart of work on the I-10 Huebner project.

At the time, we weren't able to nail down a start date as the Ballenger bonding company and the contractor selected by the bonding company were still working out takeover agreements with subcontractors for the job. Work couldn't start without the contracts in place.

Our office got notification this week all appropriate paperwork is in order and the contractor has been cleared to begin work by the bonding company. We expect to see action Monday, March 25.

I don't yet have a construction schedule, so I can't elaborate on what work will be done during the first week of work. I know when work halted, most of the activity was centered around UTSA Boulevard.

The biggest message I can relay here is drivers should be aware of the activity and pay close attention during their morning - and their evening - commutes. Any time a road is being built, construction creates an environment of change. These changes may include shifts in traffic or the added presence of workers. Please be careful! Put your phone away, pay close attention, and drive safely through the work zone.
I want to personally thank everyone this project has impacted for their patience and understanding through this process. At TxDOT, we're dedicated to bringing a quality product that addresses congestion and maintains safety while connecting Texas communities. That's what we do! This has been a burr under the saddle of everyone involved, and we're doing our best to ensure this project gets back on track as soon as possible.
