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.
