As part of the ongoing IH-10 frontage road construction the
contractor is progressing into the next stage of construction which will
require the installation of new bridge beams on the new SH-46 (Bandera Rd.)
bridge.
In order to safely install the bridge beams, we will need an approximate 8-hour continuous full mainlane closure of the IH-10 eastbound and westbound travel lanes between SH-46 (Bandera Rd) and US-87 (Main Str.). This will allow crews to continue working on the new westbound SH-46 bridge structure.
Work is scheduled to start tonight Monday June 6, 2022 at 9:00 pm and is expected to complete by 5:00 am on Wednesday, June 8, 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).
