A complete overnight closure of Interstate 10 at US 54 has been rescheduled for Monday, February 10, to allow crews to work on a concrete railing on a new overpass. The work will take place on the new direct connector which will link southbound US 54 to the Bridge of the Americas at the Spaghetti Bowl.

Closures have also been rescheduled on Monday and Tuesday nights for bridge deck work on SH 20 (Alameda Avenue). The closures were rescheduled due to cold, wet weather.
