TxDOT to Close 4th Street at Interstate 27 During Bridge Demolition Wednesday

The existing northbound I-27 Bridge at the Marsha Sharp Freeway will begin to come down this week, as crews prepare to make new additions to the area.

Beginning Wednesday, TxDOT will close 4^th Street at I-27 to begin the demolition of the current bridge, to allow crews to add new bridges at the I-27 and US 82/4^th Street interchange, as part of the Phase 4 Marsha Sharp Freeway Project.

Westbound 4^th Street traffic will be detoured north onto the I-27 frontage road to Municipal Drive. Eastbound traffic will be detoured south onto the northbound frontage road. These detours are expected to remain in place through Friday, June 24^th.

The $47.7 million project will build the freeway main lanes and frontage roads from Avenue L to just east of I-27, as well as the I-27 interchange.
