First of Three I-20 Bridges Opens to Motorists this Week

I-20 travelers in Midland will be using the new bridge at County Road 1250 this weekend.

Main lane traffic will shift onto the new structure over a two-day period beginning Thursday night, July 27 and concluding Friday night, July 28.

Vehicles on I-20 will now pass over County Road 1250. This overpass configuration will eliminate the risk of bridge strikes on I-20 by trucks.

County Road 1250 under the bridge will be open for Monday morning travel - July 31. This will provide another connection to points south of the interstate along Cholla Road and Antelope Trail. This new connection, along with the temporary signal on Antelope Trail at CR 120 and the CR 114 improvements at Rankin Highway, provides commuters south of I-20 with additional options for north-south travel along Rankin Highway (SH 349) and LP 250.

When completed, the Midkiff, Cotton Flat and CR 1250 overpasses will provide travelers and trucking interests a safer and more efficient I-20 corridor.

Midkiff Road will open under the new bridge by early spring of 2024, and Cotton Flat opened to north-south traffic later in the spring of 2024.

Pulice Construction was awarded the CR 1250 bridge project with a bid of approximately $59.1 million. James Construction was awarded the Midkiff Bridge project with a bid of approximately $36.3 million. FNF Construction was awarded the Cotton Flat Bridge project with a bid of approximately $68.5 million.
