It had been closed since June 2009 for construction. The preparation and finishing work for these changes will start this weekend and should be implemented by Monday morning. The timetable for the traffic switches could be delayed slightly in the case of inclement weather. These changes will be permanent and are part of the $152.6 million I-10/I-95 interchange reconstruction project which started in February 2005. All traffic movements should be in place by this fall. The remaining permanent movements to open near the end of the project are the I-95 southbound mainline route towards the Fuller Warren Bridge, the new off ramp from I-95 to Forest Street and an on ramp from Forest Street to I-10 westbound and U.S. 17 southbound.
