New Traffic Pattern On I-10 Eastbound Near Highway 29 Exit

August 17, 2026

I-10 eastbound travel lanes have been shifted to provide a dedicated work zone just south of the interstate.

Here is a look at morning commuters using the new, temporary traffic configuration. This aerial view is looking westward towards the Highway 29 exit.

The traffic shift allows crews to perform construction activities for future interstate widening and realignment and the replacement of the North Palafox Street bridge.

This temporary traffic configuration is anticipated to remain in place through late 2026.

Drivers are reminded that the posted speed limit in this area has been reduced to 50 mph. Drivers are advised to slow down and use caution when traveling through the work zone. Speeding fines may be doubled when workers are present.

Construction for the I-10 at U.S. 29 interchange improvement project is scheduled for completion in 2030.
