Normal erosion beneath the bridge was made worse by heavy rains in the last year, like those during Hurricane Harvey. So TxDOT made the decision to close Business-90 between C.E. King Parkway and Beltway 8 in order to repair it.
TxDOT says construction crews are making progress on the emergency project and it should re-open by the end of the month, or maybe early August.
Between 12,000 and 13,000 drivers use this stretch of Old Beaumont Highway every day.
