The Texas Department of Transportation announced Friday morning it has rescheduled its road work at the Highway 46 bridge over Interstate 10 for this weekend, weather permitting.
As part of the ongoing I-10 frontage road construction in the Boerne area, the contractor will move into the next stage of construction, which will require the realigning the I-10 mainlanes under the Highway 46 (Bandera Road) bridge, information in a press release stated.
The work is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Friday and is expected to be complete by 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 22.
The last stage of construction for the new Highway 46 bridge will necessitate transitioning the I-10 mainlane traffic from its current location to the segment that is currently a work area closed to traffic, TxDOT stated. 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 Highway 46 bridge while maintaining a safe passage for motorists and all construction personnel.
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.
The westbound mainlanes 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 mainlanes at the next available entrance ramp located near Fredericks Creek. Off-duty uniformed officers will control the traffic movement at the Highway 46 intersection.
The eastbound mainlanes 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 then back onto the mainlanes 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 SH 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.
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 mainlanes, to Exit 543 Scenic Loop, where traffic will use the turnaround to reach the westbound frontage road into Boerne/Main Street.
