TxDOT says work to raise I-10 over White Oak Bayou is moving steadily, with paving, demolition, and ramp work continuing west of downtown Houston.
HOUSTON — The Texas Department of Transportation says work on the White Oak Bayou construction project along I-10 just west of downtown Houston is continuing at a solid pace.
The long-term project is designed to raise this stretch of Interstate 10 over White Oak Bayou, reducing the risk of flooding on the freeway during heavy rain events.
According to TxDOT, crews are currently finishing right-lane paving on the westbound frontage road between Columbia and Studemont. At the same time, crews are continuing bridge deck paving for the far-right westbound I-10 main lanes.
Additional work underway includes:
- Continued demolition of the existing westbound I-10 right lanes
- Ongoing demolition of the eastbound/northbound direct connector
- Installation of rail along the main lanes
- Continued installation of the Taylor Street entrance and exit ramps
While the construction activity remains busy, TxDOT says the work reflects steady forward progress on the project.
Officials say updates will continue as construction advances and the project moves closer to completion.
