Texas Representative Briscoe Cain, Economic Alliance Applaud TxDOT Adding I-10 Bridge to State Plan

DEER PARK, Texas - Sept. 1, 2022 - PRLog -- Statement on Texas Department of Transportation Inclusion of Critical I-10 Bridge in Unified Transportation Program

Since being elected to the Texas Legislature, I have long advocated for a new I-10 Bridge over the San Jacinto River. Yesterday, the Texas Department of Transportation has included a new I-10 Bridge in the Unified Transportation Program. A new bridge will not only bring an end to our constant concerns with barge strikes, it will bring much needed traffic relief to the region. I look forward to working to ensure the project is adequately funded and completed on time," State Representative Briscoe Cain, District 128.

"This project alleviates a critical chokepoint in the Houston Port Region and provides a safer route for commuters and the workforce supporting the manufacturing economy here.  I-10 is a major freight and commuter corridor that simply cannot be closed due to barge strikes.  I want to thank TXDOT and specifically District Director Eliza Paul for recognizing the importance of this project and expediting its funding and eventual completion," Chad Burke, Economic Alliance Houston Port Region (http://www.allianceportregion.com/).
