Starting June 27, 2022, crews will begin implementing long-term lane shifts on the freeway as part of the I-10 Widening West Project. Traffic in both directions will be shifted to the outside lane and outside shoulder as part of TxDOT’s commitment to keep two lanes open in each direction during construction. The shift will first be implemented in the eastbound lanes and then be implemented to the westbound lanes. Concrete safety barriers will be placed along the inside shoulder to give crews space to safely work on the widening of I-10. It will take approximately four weeks to implement temporary measures which will be in place for the duration of the project.
