Twin Bridges Update
Twin Bridges crossing scheduled to go down to 2 lanes in August.
All traffic on the Twin Bridges across Lake Waco is scheduled to move onto one bridge next month, narrowing to one lane each way while the other bridge is torn down and replaced.
“TxDOT plans to perform a traffic switch as early as mid-August, which includes moving all traffic onto the northbound SH 6 bridge,” Texas Department of Transportation spokesperson Jake Smith said by email Tuesday. “This will allow the contractor to demolish the southbound bridge and begin reconstruction.”
In August, Orion Construction will shift all traffic to the northbound bridge, allowing just one lane of traffic going each direction on State Highway 6. Crews will then demolish the southbound bridge and spend about 18 months finishing construction on its replacement. When the new southbound bridge is complete, all traffic will then shift there, with two lanes going each way, while the northbound bridge is torn down and replaced.
