Construction Begins on the New Westbound Frontage Road
As a result of the early completion of property acquisitions on Contract C2, construction of the new I-10 westbound frontage road from west of Wilcrest to Dairy Ashford is soon to begin. In the coming days, the contractor is expected to begin construction on the new frontage road in the area. Accordingly, the I-10 westbound exit ramp to Dairy Ashford and the entrance ramp from Kirkwood will be closed overnight August 24 from 9pm to 5 am. This closure will allow the contractor to shift the frontage road traffic to the south, creating a work zone for the new frontage road construction. Construction is expected to continue until Summer 2007.
Please note that all closures are subject to change due to inclement weather. For more information on the Katy Freeway Reconstruction Program including up to date information regarding other lane closures along the I-10 corridor, please visit the Katy Freeway website at www.katyfreeway.org or contact the Katy Freeway Public Information Office at 281-589-5924.
