I-10 Huebner: gearing up for summer

Though most of the physical activities on the I-10 Huebner project is focused on UTSA Boulevard - crews are still working on the new retaining wall (they are pushing the old one back, essentially), the center median wall and pumping water out of the area - the minds of the project are on what's coming for the summer.

Crews collect and sort inventory, clean up the work area and pump water from the shoulder area of I-10 at UTSA Boulevard. In the center median, crews are building a new concrete median wall.

And how to best prepare for it.

The biggest task is the Fredericksburg Road overpass bridge repair - a 70-day milestone in the project that will cut into east-bound main lane traffic around-the-clock until it's complete. As part of this work, the Huebner Road exit ramp and the frontage road, all the way up to the entrance ramp just before reaching Huebner Road, will be considered a main lane of highway traffic. A detailed graphic will be provided later ... for now, let's just keep in mind this will make any commute into the city a little more challenging.

When crews are repairing the Fredericksburg Road overpass bridge on east-bound I-10 this summer, this frontage road will serve as a proxy for the displaced main lane of traffic ... that is, one main lane will be diverted onto the frontage road.

In the meantime, look for crews to begin working on the current west-bound Woodstone exit ... which will be the permanent DeZavala-Woodstone exit. We're adding a lane to the exit ramp. The good news: the work will be done out of the way of those driving through the area. We shouldn't have major closures. But it also means we'll have crews near the open lane.



Sometime between now and the summer, crews will begin adding a lane to this west-bound exit on I-10 to Woodstone. It will become the permanent DeZavala-Woodstone exit.

With that in mind, please slow down and be careful!

For now, we'll stick to what's going on at UTSA Boulevard. And that means nightly lane closures this week - all impacting east-bound traffic at UTSA Boulevard. We're only shutting down one lane (the left lane) so traffic should be able to still move through the area efficiently.
