On Aug. 3, 2015, Williams Brothers Construction Co. Inc. was awarded a $29.9 million contract to reconstruct the I-10/FM 364 (Major Drive) intersection in Beaumont, Jefferson County. The project is designed to help improve safety and relieve congestion as a result of special events and increased growth. Reconfiguring I-10 also removes over height clearance issues with freight traffic.
Planned Improvements
The project includes the following improvements:

Access Considerations
TxDOT is committed to working with the public to minimize the environmental impact from construction projects as much as possible.
Please note: FM 364/Major Drive will not be accessible from the westbound frontage road, and the westbound frontage road will not be accessible from Major Drive until early 2016. Westbound traffic may use Smith Road as a detour to reach businesses on the eastbound side of I-10. SH 124 (Fannett Road) may also be used as a detour. Those trying to reach I-10 westbound from Major Drive may use Brooks Road or Walden Road as a detour.
Get Involved
An open house is currently planned for October 22, 2015, to share construction information, receive public input about the construction process and to answer questions. The public is encouraged to subscribe for construction email updates, check the Beaumont District Twitter page and to contact the Beaumont District Office with questions.
