I-10 CLOSED AT SH 46 IN KENDALL COUNTY THIS WEEKEND

 

As part of the ongoing IH-10 frontage road construction the contractor is progressing into the next stage of construction which will require the realigning the I-10 mainlanes under SH-46 (Bandera Rd.) bridge.

The last stage of construction for the new SH-46 bridge will necessitate transitioning the I-10 mainlane traffic from their current location to the segment that is currently a work area closed to traffic.  The mainlane transition will place the eastbound mainlanes back in their natural configuration and the westbound mainlanes will be south of their existing orientation. 

The transition is necessary to construct the second half of the SH-46 bridge while maintaining a safe passage for motorists and all construction personnel.

Work is scheduled to start on Friday AUGUST 19, 2022 at 9:00 pm and is expected to complete by 5:00 am on Monday AUGUST 22, 2022, weather permitting.

The westbound mainlanes will be reduced to one-lane then forced to use Exit 540 (SH-46/Bandera Rd). Westbound frontage road traffic will continue through the SH-46 intersection then back onto the mainlanes at the next available entrance ramp located near Fredricks Creek. Off-duty uniformed officers will control the traffic movement at the SH 46 intersection.

The eastbound mainlanes will be reduced to one-lane then forced to use Exit 540 (SH-46/Bandera Rd).  Eastbound frontage road traffic will continue through the SH 46 intersection than back onto the mainlanes at the next available entrance ramp located ¼ west of the US 87 interchange. Off-duty uniformed officers will control the traffic movement at the SH 46 intersection.

For safety reasons, the active bridge on SH 46 at IH 10 will be closed requiring all traffic to turn right onto the frontage roads.

• Westbound SH-46 traffic will be detoured to westbound I-10, to the Johns Road intersection, and back to Exit 540 SH-46 (see westbound detour route exhibit).
• Eastbound SH-46 traffic will be detoured the eastbound frontage road, onto the eastbound I-10 mainlanes, to Exit 543 Scenic Loop, where traffic will use the turnaround to reach the westbound frontage road into Boerne/Main St. (see eastbound detour route exhibit).

TRAFFIC SWITCH COMING TO I-10 AND SH 46 IN KENDALL COUNTY THE WEEK OF JULY 5TH

 

WHAT’S HAPPENING: The last stage of construction for the new BUS 87 bridge will necessitate transitioning the I-10 mainlane traffic from their current location to the segment that is currently a work area closed to traffic.  The mainlane transition will place the eastbound mainlanes back in their natural configuration and the westbound mainlanes will be south of their existing orientation.  This phase will require the temporary closure of the westbound entrance ramp from Scenic Loop. 

The transition is to construct the second half of the Bus 87 bridge while maintaining a safe passage for motorists and all construction personnel.  The entrance ramp will also undergo construction to complete its final configuration that will include a longer merge lane for motorists entering I-10.

DETOUR: The westbound entrance ramp traffic will utilize the westbound frontage road, across the BUS-87 intersection (ALL-WAY STOP), then onto the next available entrance ramp near SH-46.  

WHEN: The mainlane traffic switch will begin Tuesday July 5, 2022, at 9:00 PM, weather permitting. Multiple nights may be required to complete the work between the hours of 9 PM – 5 AM.

·      Eastbound traffic. The eastbound mainlanes will be removed east of SH 46 and will be detoured along the eastbound frontage road. Drivers will be allowed to enter back onto the mainlanes just east of Scenic Loop Rd. 

During this closure, there will be no through traffic at Scenic Loop Rd. under I-10. All traffic will be directed to turn right onto the frontage roads.

·        Northbound traffic on Scenic Loop Rd. will be detoured to Balcones Creek intersection.

·        Southbound traffic on Scenic Loop Rd. will be detoured to the SH 46 intersection.

Southbound Main St/Business US 87 traffic will not be allowed to cross over I-10 and will be directed to turn right onto the westbound frontage road to the SH 46 intersection.

These closures are part of scheduled work on the I-10 Kendall Extension project. The project includes frontage road and overpass improvements along I-10 from SH 46 to Fair Oaks Parkway in Kendall County.

Work Continues on I-10 Kendall Extension Project with Changes Coming to I-10 WB Frontage Road & Scenic Loop Rd.

As part of the ongoing IH 10 frontage road construction in Kendall County, the contractor is progressing into the next stage of construction which will require reconstructing the IH 10 Westbound Frontage Road near Scenic Loop and Cascade Caverns.

The existing outside lane of the westbound frontage road at Scenic Loop will be closed for reconstruction, and traffic will be transferred onto the newly constructed inside lane to maintain frontage road operations.

Traffic will remain as a single lane from Scenic Loop to the new US-87 exit ramp (Exit 542). Additionally, Cascade Caverns will be closed for reconstruction between the westbound frontage road and Old San Antonio Road. Traffic will be detoured to Scenic Loop to access the IH-10 Westbound Frontage Road.

This work is scheduled to start beginning Monday, July 19, 2021 – weather permitting.

Once complete, this construction will allow TxDOT’s contractor to complete the westbound frontage road widening from Scenic Loop to US-87 (Main Street). This segment’s estimated completion is Summer 2021.

MAJOR CLOSURE COMING TO SH 46 AT THE I-10 INTERSECTION IN BOERNE

 

Beginning on Tuesday, July 6, the I-10 Kendall Extension project will move into the next phase of construction with several upcoming roadway and lane closures that are required to facilitate the completion of the new 6-lane bridge at SH 46 and I-10. This phase of construction is estimated to take place over 12 weeks.

The first six weeks of this construction phase will include the following closures on SH 46 from Home Depot to the I-10 eastbound frontage road:

• Closure of the right-turn lane in front of Whataburger on approach to the eastbound frontage road; 

• Traffic shift onto the temporary pavement; and, 

• Closure of the Whataburger driveway.

During this phase, two-way traffic will be maintained on the approach to and across the existing SH 46 and I-10 bridge.

The second six weeks of construction will include additional closures as crews begin the reconstruction of roadway approaches to the SH 46 bridge. More information on additional closures will be shared in the coming weeks.

Once complete, this phase of construction will allow crews to shift traffic onto the portion of the new SH 46 bridge by Fall 2021. Following the traffic shift, crews will begin demolition of the old SH 46 bridge and construct the remainder of the new 6-lane bridge and approach. The new SH 46 bridge is currently estimated to be completed by Spring 2022. 

The I-10 Kendall Extension project is a $100 million investment to increase mobility and enhance safety for drivers on I-10 in Kendall County. The project includes plans to improve frontage roads, ramps, bridges, overpasses, and interchanges along I-10 from SH 46 to Fair Oaks Parkway in Kendall County.
