The contractor will demolish the remaining portion of the temporary Union Pacific Railroad bridge that crosses the I-10/Katy Freeway mainlanes. This temporary railroad bridge was originally constructed to facilitate railroad traffic during the construction of the new permanent UPRR bridge that opened February 19, 2008. The new UPRR Bridge was rebuilt to accommodate freeway improvements in the area.

- Two inside lanes of I-10/Katy Freeway eastbound will be closed between I-610/West Loop and Washington Avenue on Saturday, March 22 from 6am to 2pm.
