Project Status

The construction of the I-10 Widening and Reconstruction Project is making significant strides. Barrier and h-pile installation along I-10 westbound has been completed, leading into the installation of the 10 ft. soundwall. This is anticipated to begin January 2025. Additionally, crews have begun pouring the retaining walls near Dalrymple Dr. and E. Lakeshore Dr.

In City Park Lake, crews continue the fabrication of the bridge pier caps and arches of the new bridge. Once these have been installed, crews will begin setting girders, which is estimated to begin early 2025, 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.

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.
