As part of the ongoing IH-10 frontage road construction, the contractor is progressing into the next stage of construction which will require closing the existing Eastbound Exit 540 to SH 46/Bandera Rd. in order to construct the new Eastbound Exit 540 and new Eastbound Frontage Road approaching SH 46.
There will not be any additional changes to the intersection traffic configuration at this time.
This complete closure is anticipated to take 5 weeks to construct the new Eastbound Exit 540 to SH 46/Bandera Rd., weather permitting.
DETOUR: Eastbound mainlane traffic trying to use Exit 540 SH 46/Bandera Rd. will be detoured at the new US-87 exit, down the eastbound frontage road to the Scenic Loop turnaround. Once under I-10 traffic will be directed back onto the westbound I-10 mainlanes to the existing westbound Exit 540 SH 46/Bandera Rd.
Work is scheduled to start on Monday November 8, 2021 at 12:30 AM.
This will allow TxDOT’s contractor to shift traffic onto the portion of the new bridge and new pavement that has been built so that the old SH 46 bridge can be demolished and the remainder of the new 6 lane bridge and approach work can be completed.
Estimated completion of the project is currently Spring 2022.
