TxDOT Info

We have the usual lane closures as needed on I-10 Widening West,  I-10 Widening West 2, Artcraft, Montana Widening, Purple Heart Widening, etc. We have no scheduled full closures for next week. The traffic gods are smiling upon us.

There is advance warning of the upcoming closure of the on-ramp to I-10 East just after Transmountain coming up in October so the Artcraft Project can place columns to support a ramp there, but that is truly the only jarring bit of news I have for you. That closure will last several months.
