Drivers could encounter construction, lane closures and other road work this week as the Texas Department of Transportation continues projects throughout the Beaumont District.

Some of the biggest impacts this week include work along Interstate 10 in Beaumont, bridge projects in Jasper and Newton counties and lane closures at the Sabine River Bridge.

Jefferson County

Several major projects remain active in and around Beaumont.

At the I-10/Eastex Freeway interchange, crews are working on drainage along the eastbound and westbound frontage roads between Seventh and 11th streets and along the westbound frontage road between Liberty and Calder. Bridge work is also underway along the eastbound frontage road, along with pavement removal between Harrison and Louisiana streets.

At the Cardinal Drive interchange, crews are working on bridge columns, footings and caps in the median and installing drill shafts near Hillebrandt Bayou. Work is also underway on the westbound frontage road near the bayou. Drivers should be prepared to stop and use caution.

The I-10 widening project between Hamshire Road and FM 365 continues with embankment and guardrail work, while crews between FM 365 and Walden Road are working on new main lanes, subgrade and drainage.

At the US 69/SH 73 interchange, crews are paving the ramp from southbound US 69 to eastbound SH 73 and portions of eastbound SH 73.

Along College Street/US 90, crews are continuing sidewalk, driveway and curb work near Langham Drive and construction on the pedestrian bridge over Hillebrandt Bayou.

Work also continues along FM 365 between US 90 and the LNVA Canal, where crews are installing safety improvements and preparing for shoulder widening.

Maintenance crews will also pave the westbound SH 73 frontage road from Spur 215 to SH 82. Debris removal is planned along portions of SH 73, US 69 and I-10.

Orange County

Drivers crossing the I-10 Sabine River Bridge should expect lane closures as crews continue concrete repairs.

Work on FM 1130 between FM 1136 and points north is also expected to resume as part of a safety improvement project involving road widening, guardrails, pavement markings and signs.

Hardin County

Crews are working on the US 96 bridge at the BNSF railroad, installing containment systems ahead of structural steel painting and other bridge repairs. Drivers should be prepared to stop in the work zone.

The SH 326 restoration project between US 69 and FM 1293 and several bridge replacement projects are nearing completion, with contractors performing final cleanup.

Maintenance work includes ditch work along SH 326 near Black Gum Drive and herbicide operations along FM 421 and US 69.

Jasper County

The US 190 Steinhagen bridge project remains under one-lane, two-way traffic control using temporary signals while crews work on the bridge deck and new approaches. Drivers should be prepared to stop.

Two county roads remain closed for bridge replacement work: CR 139 at Sandy Creek and CR 2300 at Little Cypress Creek. Drivers will need alternate routes.

A portion of FM 777 near Big Walnut Run also remains closed while crews work on the roadway and bridge project.

Maintenance crews are conducting level-up work along US 190.

Newton County

Drivers on FM 363 should expect lane closures while crews perform milling and road-leveling operations.

CR 2018 at Hackberry Branch remains closed at the bridge crossing while crews continue construction. Drivers should use another route.

Work also continues at CR 456 near Thickety Creek, while the FM 1414 restoration project is in its final cleanup stage.

Tyler County

Crews continue work on the major US 69 Gateway to the Big Thicket project, preparing for a future traffic switch. Work includes guardrail installation, pavement markings, sign relocation, milling and construction of a pedestrian bridge near Hickory Creek.

Road reconstruction continues along US 287, and drivers are advised to remain alert through the work zone.

Crews are also finishing remaining work along FM 256, including signs, mailboxes and guardrails. Maintenance crews will conduct additional road-leveling work on FM 256 between Clear Fork Creek and US 190.

Liberty County

Drivers on US 90 near Dayton should expect lane closures between SH 146 and Rolke Road as crews place beams for a new overpass at the Union Pacific railroad crossing.

Crews are also continuing an overlay project on US 90 east of the Trinity River Bridge and installing permanent striping along SH 105 between US 59 and SH 321.

Maintenance work is planned along FM 834 from FM 1011 to SH 146.

Chambers County

Maintenance crews will perform repairs along FM 1724 and SH 146, while seal coat work is planned on FM 563 at SH 61.

Pavement work continues at the I-10/SH 146 intersection as part of a project to add dual left-turn lanes, although TxDOT says no lane closures are anticipated.

Crews are also preparing materials for new flashing warning signs and chevrons along FM 565.

Multi-county projects

Crews will continue installing pavement markings and signs at locations in Liberty and Chambers counties, including portions of US 59, SH 321, SH 105, FM 2518, FM 1725, I-10 and SH 146.

Bridge work also continues at several locations, including FM 563 at FM 770 in Liberty County and North Bay Avenue at Lone Star Canal in Chambers County.

TxDOT urges drivers to slow down, stay alert in work zones and allow additional travel time where lane closures or traffic controls are in place.
