The Oltorf Street bridge will also be closed to traffic. All roadways are expected to reopen at 5 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

Road signs have been placed to alert drivers of the closure. TxDOT and the contractor recognize the inconvenience this will cause and are committed to getting the work done quickly and safely.
