The following closures will go into effect starting at 3 a.m. Sunday, March 12 and will continue throughout the day and night, re-opening at 6 a.m. on Monday, March 13:
· I-10 Eastbound will be completely closed after Redd Road.

Detour: Follow the detour signs in place. An illustration of the detour routes is on Map 1.
Motorists should avoid the intersection on March 12 by using alternate routes such as Transmountain Road (Loop 375). Motorists who cannot avoid the intersection should follow the detour signs in place. [Map 1]
Crews will be conducting an ambitious operation during this 27-hour closure. They will re-stripe I-10 Eastbound lanes, and demolish the existing I-10 Eastbound structure. By Monday morning, I-10 Eastbound traffic will be driving on the new center median of the I-10 Overpass, the former eastbound lanes and structure will be gone, and North Mesa Street lanes will be open.
Project Engineer Tim Twomey said, “Twenty-seven hours is an aggressive timeframe for work that could easily take multiple days to complete. This consolidated timeframe is an effort to mitigate impact to motorists and businesses.”
