The Texas Department of Transportation announced that as part of the ongoing Interstate 10 frontage road construction, the project contractor is progressing into the next stage of construction which will require the demolition of the existing Highway 46 (Bandera Road) bridge.
In order to safely remove the bridge, TxDOT said it will need an approximate 56-hour continuous full mainlane closure of the I-10 eastbound and westbound travel lanes between Highway 46 (Bandera Road) and Highway 87 (Main Street). The removal of this bridge will allow crews to start working on the new westbound Highway 46 bridge structure.
TxDOT stated the work that is scheduled to start on Friday, January 21, at 9 p.m. and is expected to be complete by 5 a.m. on Monday, January 24, weather permitting.
According to information from TxDOT, the westbound main lanes will be reduced to one lane then forced to use Exit 540 (Highway 46/Bandera Road). Westbound frontage road traffic will continue through the Highway 46 intersection then back onto the main lanes at the next available entrance ramp located near Fredricks Creek. Offduty uniformed officers will control the traffic movement at the Highway 46 intersection.
The eastbound main lanes will be reduced to one lane then forced to use Exit 540 (Highway 46/Bandera Road). Eastbound frontage road traffic will continue through the Highway 46 intersection than back onto the main lanes at the next available entrance ramp located one-quarter mile west of the Highway 87 interchange. Off-duty uniformed officers will control the traffic movement at the Highway 46 intersection.
For safety reasons, the active bridge on Highway 46 at I-10 will be closed requiring all traffic to turn right onto the frontage roads, TxDOT stated.
Westbound Highway 46 traffic will be detoured to westbound I-10, to the Johns Road intersection, and back to Exit 540 Highway 46.
Eastbound Highway 46 traffic will be detoured the eastbound frontage road, onto the eastbound I-10 main lanes, to Exit 543 Scenic Loop, where traffic will use the turnaround to reach the westbound frontage road into Boerne/ Main Street.
