Drivers using westbound Max Leggett Parkway to access westbound Airport Road will also be affected by these closures.
The beam replacement comes after an over-height commercial vehicle struck the overpass on August 27, causing significant damage.
Beginning Friday, October 4, the northbound I-95 ramp to Airport Road will be closed from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m., with the same closure repeating Saturday, October 5. Additional nightly detours are scheduled from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. starting Sunday, October 6 through Friday, October 18.
During these closures, motorists will be redirected to Pecan Park Road and will re-enter Airport Road via southbound I-95. Detour signage and law enforcement will be in place to guide drivers during the repairs.
Superior Construction has been selected to perform the beam replacement. Costs associated with the repair will be covered by the responsible party’s insurance.
