Starting as early as this Wednesday, March 22 crews will restripe Cedar Avenue between Orange Street and Valley Boulevard. This activity is in preparation for crews to begin partial demolition and widening of the east side of the Cedar Avenue bridge over I-10 and the railroad tracks. Once restriped,

• NB Cedar Avenue will have one through lane (with access to the eastbound (EB) I-10 on-ramp), and one dedicated left turn lane onto the westbound (WB) I-10 on-ramp.
• SB Cedar Avenue will have one dedicated right turn lane onto the WB I-10 on-ramp, one through lane, and one dedicated left turn lane onto the EB I-10 on-ramp.

This configuration will be in place for approximately one year while crews work to widen the east side of the Cedar Avenue bridge.

During the reconstruction of the east half of the Cedar Avenue bridge, motorists on Orange Street will be prohibited from making a right turn onto NB Cedar Avenue.

This configuration will be in place for approximately one year wile crews work to widen the east side of the Cedar Avenue bridge. The recommended detour route is shown in green on the map below.

The following lane and ramp closures are required next week to facilitate this work on the project:

EB I-10 CLOSURES:

• EB I-10 Lane Closures between Sierra Avenue and Riverside Avenue: Lanes will be closed nightly from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., Sunday, March 19 through Friday, March 24 (into Saturday morning). At least one lane on EB I-10 will be open at all times.
• EB I-10 On- and Off-Ramps at Cedar Avenue: Closed nightly from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., Sunday, March 19 through Friday, March 24 (into Saturday morning).

WB I-10 CLOSURES:

• WB I-10 Lane Closures between Pepper Avenue and Sierra Avenue: Lanes will be closed nightly from 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., Sunday, March 19 through Friday, March 24 (into Saturday morning). At least one lane on WB I-10 will be open at all times.

The Cedar Avenue Bridge over the I-10 and the railroad tracks will be widened in two stages. Crews are tentatively scheduled to partially demolish the east side of the bridge in May 2023 and will work to reconstruct and widen this portion of the bridge through approximately December 2023. 

Prior to partial demolition, traffic will be shifted onto the west half of the bridge to allow crews to perform this work. To accommodate this shift, Cedar Avenue will be reduced by one lane in each direction between Orange Street and Valley Boulevard. Motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes, including Slover Avenue or Valley Boulevard to Riverside Avenue to the east and Sierra Avenue to the west. Traffic delays should be expected during bridge reconstruction, please allow extra time to reach your destination and use caution when traveling through work zones. While the east side of the bridge is under construction, pedestrian access will be maintained across the west side of the bridge.

Once reconstruction of the east side of the bridge is completed in late-2023, crews will then perform bridge widening along the west side, tentatively scheduled to begin in early-2024.

The I-10/Cedar Avenue Interchange Project is designed to relieve congestion, enhance safety, and improve traffic operations along Cedar Avenue between Bloomington Avenue and Orange Street. The project will widen the I-10 overcrossing and replace the railroad bridge, provide for roadway improvements along Cedar Avenue, and add capacity to the on- and off-ramps from Cedar Avenue to the I-10. During construction activities may include removing and rebuilding of existing and new structures, digging up roads for utility work, pavement and restriping work, installation of new traffic signals, traffic shifts, intermittent lane closures, and ramp closures. Workers and heavy equipment will be present throughout the project corridor and we ask that you allow for extra time to reach your destination as you may experience delays.

Please remember construction is dynamic and the schedule is subject to change.
