NOLANVILLE, Texas — The Texas Department of Transportation said it will close the Paddy Hamilton bridge starting the morning of Oct. 7.
The bridge will be closed as it passes over I-14 for bridge work, including repaving and jacking, TxDOT said.
During this work, the bridge will be closed to the public, officials said. Northbound and southbound drivers on Paddy Hamilton will be directed to the adjacent crossovers in each direction as alternate routes.
The closure is expected to end later this year, TxDOT said. The department did not give a specific end date.
The department said schedules are dependent on weather, field conditions and work progress.
TxDOT encourages all motorists to be safe and drive smart in work zones: slow down, pay attention, eliminate all distractions and watch for road crews.
