Repairs to the westbound Interstate 10 bridge spanning the San Jacinto River will take until early 2020, transportation officials said Wednesday.
The announcement means months more of narrow freeway lanes after at least two runaway barges struck the bridge when floodwaters swelled the river as remnants of Tropical Storm Imelda drenched east Texas last month.
A contractor for the bridge repairs will be chosen in mid-October, said Deidrea George, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Transportation in Houston. Officials estimate it will take until the first quarter of 2020 to complete the work, she said. The cost of the repairs was not immediately known, she said, with bids on the project still outstanding.
