Each girder is approximately 138 feet long and weighs 146,000 pounds.
During the full closure of I-10 Oct. 1-2, crews installed two girders to widen the Guadalupe Road bridge, so pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians will have designated space when it opens.
Workers installed new light poles along the eastbound I-10 on-ramp at Elliot Road.
During the full closure of eastbound Interstate 10 on Oct. 2, crews installed rubberized asphalt.
After workers install the rubberized asphalt, rollers compact the pavement.
Workers remove a dynamic message sign (DMS) over eastbound I-10.
The new lights are more energy efficient than the previous lights.
Workers installed new light poles along the eastbound I-10 on-ramp at Elliot Road.
During the full closure of eastbound Interstate 10 on Oct. 2, crews installed rubberized asphalt.
After workers install the rubberized asphalt, rollers compact the pavement.
Workers pave the southbound State Route 143 “shoofly," which shifts traffic around a construction zone between University Drive and I-10.
A “shoofly” is an old railroad term meaning "to work around" the mainline of the railroad and is now used in highway construction to describe temporary work-around lanes.
Westbound Interstate 10 was closed Oct. 14-17, so crews could place the 48th Street bridge decks.
