Lanes to be Closed Thursday on Eastbound I-10 Bridge

Motorists traveling eastbound on I-10 over Escambia Bay will be restricted to a single lane near the east end of the bridge Thursday, July 24, as construction crews remove concrete barriers, paint permanent lane stripes and prepare to conclude the construction project.  Traffic will merge from three lanes to one lane as motorists approach the east end of the bridge.  The lane restriction is expected to occur from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. and again from 6 p.m. until approximately 10 p.m.  All three eastbound lanes will be open from 3-6 p.m. during peak traffic conditions.  Work will take place as weather permits; in case of inclement weather, work may continue through Friday, July 25.  Motorists may wish to consider alternate routes to avoid delays during Thursday’s lane restrictions.  More information and a map of alternate routes can be found on this project Web site.  Motorists are reminded to obey the posted speed limit and to use caution when traveling through the work zone.
