Project Status

Progress continues along the westbound corridor of the I-10 Widening and Reconstruction Project. Crews continue installing H-piles in the ground along I-10 westbound behind Baywood Ave. to begin construction of the barrier and sound wall. Barrier and sound wall concrete operations are estimated to begin late September.

Along City Park Lake, crews continue pile driving operations. This is anticipated to be completed late September. Additionally, crews are dewatering and excavating the cofferdam cells of the new bridge, which is needed prior to the construction of the bridge pier footings. Once the pier footings have been installed, the permanent bridge columns for the new I-10 westbound bridge will begin being constructed, which is anticipated to begin late September, weather permitting. These operations remain ongoing from Monday through Saturday during daytime hours.

While work is ongoing, residents and motorists throughout the corridor can expect to see an increase in truck traffic, as well as an increase in noise during the day. Construction activities continue to be monitored by various noise and vibration monitors throughout the corridor.

On November 27, 2023, E. Lakeshore Dr. was closed where it passes beneath I-10 as depicted in red on the accompanying diagram. This local street will remain closed for approximately three years while crews work on the permanent widening of I-10 over City Park Lake. Northbound and southbound motorists on E. Lakeshore Dr. are advised to use Dalrymple Dr. for the duration of this closure.

This portion of E. Lakeshore Dr. will not be accessible to motorists, pedestrians or bicyclists as this is an active construction site.

Drainage operations continue near Virginia St. to install storm drain pipes and catch basins.

H-piles along I-10 westbound behind Baywood Ave. have been installed in preparation to begin construction of the barrier and sound wall.

Pile driving operations continue in City Park Lake for preparation of the installation of bridge footings.
