As part of the ongoing IH-10 frontage road construction, the contractor is progressing into the next stage of construction which will require the demolition of the existing SH-46 (Bandera Rd.) bridge.
In order to safely remove the bridge, a 56-hour continuous full mainlane closure of the I-10 eastbound and
westbound travel lanes between SH-46 (Bandera Rd) and US-87 (Main Str.) will be required. The
removal of this bridge will allow crews to start working on the new westbound
SH-46 bridge structure.
Work is scheduled to start on Friday FEBRUARY 11, 2022 at 8:00 pm and is expected to complete by 5:00 am on Monday FEBRUARY 14, 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).
