Beam Us Up: I-10 Project Advances With Boerne Stage Road Bridge Widening


The clocks rolled may have recently rolled back for daylight savings time, but the work continues with the completion of the I-10 bridge widening over Boerne Stage Road. Contractors installed a total of 72 bridge beams on the east and westbound lanes. 

In our previous post, we noted that 42 beams were installed as of early November, with each beam weighing a whopping 90,000-lbs (18 tons!). All the beams together add up to around 1,296 tons or about the weight of a giant Sierra Redwood tree! These strongly reinforced beams will ensure the new bridges will be able to withstand the new traffic volumes. 
Check out the progress in the pictures below:






















Looking forward, once the bridge widening is completed, traffic will be moved to the newly widened eastbound and westbound lanes. This will allow the center lanes to be reconstructed. Completion of the widening process is necessary before demolition of the old bridge, because it ensures traffic flow continues with little interruption. 

We sincerely appreciate your patience as construction activities continue -- safety is our number one priority, so keep your eyes out for any dangerous conditions with changing weather patterns.

Traffic counts to be collected on SH 16 (Bandera Road)

Where are the cars coming from and where are they going on SH 16 (Bandera Road) between I-410 and Loop 1604? These are questions that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is answering as the agency kicks off a new study to review possible improvements along SH 16 (Bandera Road) between I-410 and Loop 1604. 

Traffic counting equipment and survey crews will be seen along the corridor starting in December 2018. 

TxDOT is working closely with officials from the cities of Leon Valley and San Antonio to study congestion within the project corridor. Earlier this year, the City of San Antonio announced plans to study land use and economic development opportunities along SH 16 (Bandera Road) in a separate effort as part of the SA Tomorrow Corridor Plan. 

According to the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, the 6.5-mile stretch of SH 16 (Bandera Road) between I-410 and Loop 1604 is the 8th most congested road in the region and one of the top 100 most congested in the State of Texas. 

For ongoing TxDOT project updates, community members are invited to email their names and contact information to BanderaRoad@pozcam.com or contact the TxDOT Public Information Office at Laura.Lopez@txdot.gov or (210) 615-5839.

Nitty-Gritty Time On US 281 Expansion Project: Major Changes Taking Place Next Week

Just as promised a couple of weeks ago when we implemented the traffic switch on the southbound side taking traffic off the mainlanes and onto the new frontage road, now we've got the same scenario but for the northbound side lined up to take effect Monday (Nov. 12) morning at 5 a.m. (see illustrations below).







So basically as you head north on US 281 past Loop 1604, you will be diverted off the mainlanes onto the new frontage road -- keeping the same number of lanes at three. This is only for the stretch between Sonterra Boulevard and Encino Rio. Please do note that since it's still a construction zone, the speed limit in the traffic switch stretch goes down from 60 mph to 45 mph.

Additionally, another important closure is scheduled for next week on this project. The southbound Sonterra Boulevard entrance ramp will be closed starting Tuesday night (Nov. 13) through at least early next year for ramp reconstruction, a new retaining wall, drainage and work on the westbound-southbound direct connector between US 281 and Loop 1604 (see illustration below).

Heads-Up For Closure On I-10 In Far East San Antonio

As the I-10 East widening project continues, construction crews have temporarily closed the eastbound ramp from FM 1516 to I-10 to make ramp and drainage improvements.

Eastbound drivers wishing to enter the I-10 mainlanes must remain on the frontage road and use the eastbound ramp after Loop 1604.

We will let you know when the ramp reopens. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to plan, design, build, maintain and improve state roadways in the South Central Texas region.

Learn All About It: Crucial Role Of Highway Retaining Walls

Have you noticed those big retaining walls that line many of our area's highways? In this post we discuss these walls, in particular the ones being built to reinforce the elevated mainlanes above the frontage roads and surrounding right of way (ROW) along I-10 for the project between La Cantera and Ralph Fair Road.
 
These walls allow us to use the I-10 ROW as efficiently as possible with multiple lane heights supported by mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls. These walls are constructed soil walls with artificial reinforcing, meaning backfill is brought in to stabilize the wall face and provide a sturdy foundation.

The MSE wall’s face is constructed of precast concrete panels stacked in vertical layers. The precast concrete panels stabilize unstable slopes and retain the soil on steep slopes while under crest loads. Due to the mainlane overpasses being higher in elevation than the frontage roads or surrounding ground, these walls are needed to widen the road. Otherwise, there is not enough distance between mainlanes and frontage roads to place the required embankment slopes. Below are some examples of MSE retaining wall we're constructing on this project.







With these new retaining walls in the construction process, it won’t be long until you will be driving on the new and improved lanes they will support. Next time you’re stopped next to a retaining wall, take a quick look and admire how much weight these simple, yet extraordinary walls support. 

In the pictures above, the top two show the retaining wall during the actual construction process. These pictures clearly show the backfill used to stabilize the wall along with the individual precast concrete panels. The bottom two pictures show the retaining wall with several vertical layers of precast concrete panels. Also notice that all the concrete panels have the same unique pattern on the face of the panels. This pattern is specific to MSE retaining walls in the San Antonio district, so keep an eye out for this pattern throughout the city!
