Trinity River Bridge on I-10 Nears Completion in Chambers County
The east bound span of the Trinity River Bridge on I-10 is finished and open, reducing detours and easing congestion between Houston and Winnie. TxDOT spent 70 million dollars over four years on a project expanding I-10 to six lanes toward Winnie and toward the Louisiana line, improving safety for motorists and emergency responders. Anahuac Mayor Sue Hawthorne expresses relief at the completion of this key phase.
