Bridge repairs completed, westbound lanes re-open

Westbound lanes of the I-10 bridge over the San Jacinto River were reopened in their normal state on Monday morning of this week.

In addition, the entry ramp from Crosby-Lynchburg Road was reopened, and the temporary traffic signals at 4 Corners were removed.

Motorists had been inconvenienced with traffic restrictions since a barge hit and seriously damaged a supporting column on February 11th. Contractors had to install two new steel columns in place of the concrete column that was split into two pieces.
