Summary
The old Montgomery Boulevard bridge is gone—demolished last week to make way for a $268 million upgrade of the I-25 corridor, set for spring 2027 completion. The new stretch will feature a three-lane interchange, bike/pedestrian paths, and innovative “Texas U-turns” to let drivers loop back onto I-25 without stopping at lights. Crews are working dawn-to-dusk shifts to minimize traffic headaches, while old bridge debris is being crushed and reused as road base. Despite the short-term grind, project leaders stress this is long-term gain: smoother, safer, and more efficient travel ahead.
