Support columns for new and wider bridges will continue rising from the ground near the Spaghetti Bowl, meaning more overnight closures on US 62 (Paisano Drive) and the first 27-hour closure on Interstate 10 as part of the I-10 Connect Project.
Scheduled night closures on Paisano will allow crews to place the columns that will support a wider bridge carrying US 54 over Paisano; scheduled closures on I-10 will allow crews to place safety barriers and realign traffic so that crews can safely work on a support column for the new direct connector linking southbound US 54 to the Bridge of the Americas.
Crews have also begun widening the turnaround from Gateway Boulevard East to Gateway Boulevard West under I-10 at Trowbridge Drive. That turnaround, along with the turnaround from Gateway Boulevard North to Gateway Boulevard South under US 54 at Pershing Drive, will be used for detour routes later in the project.
Below is a list of closures planned during the week of April 21 and information on upcoming 27-hour closures:
