As part of the ongoing IH-10 frontage road construction the
contractor is progressing into the next stage of construction which will
require the realigning the I-10 mainlanes under SH-46 (Bandera Rd.) bridge.
The last stage of construction for the new SH-46 bridge will necessitate transitioning the I-10 mainlane traffic from their current location to the segment that is currently a work area closed to traffic. The mainlane transition will place the eastbound mainlanes back in their natural configuration and the westbound mainlanes will be south of their existing orientation.
The transition is necessary to construct the second half of the SH-46 bridge while maintaining a safe passage for motorists and all construction personnel.
Work is scheduled to start on Friday AUGUST 19, 2022 at 9:00 pm and is expected to complete by 5:00 am on Monday AUGUST 22, 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).
