As part of the current I-10 widening project from SH 73 to Hamshire Road in Chambers and Jefferson County, the existing Brush Island Bridge, which crosses over I-10, will be replaced with a new overpass.
- Weather permitting, demolition of the Brush Island Bridge structure will require nightly closures of I-10 the week of June 26th, from 9 PM to 5 AM. During the closures, I-10 main lane traffic between SH 73 and FM 365 will be detoured onto FM 365, SH 124, and SH 73. Additional signage and police enforcement will be placed along the detour route to accommodate the traveling public and promote safety.
Please note: The I-10 frontage roads are not continuous in this area; thus, not a viable detour. They will however, remain open for local traffic.
The demolition requiring the closures is estimated to take two nights:
June 26 – Monday Night: I-10 eastbound traffic detoured
June 27 – Tuesday Night: I-10 westbound traffic detoured
