The bridge closed in March 2013 for track construction, sidewalk widening and road reconstruction. At the same time, the city reconfigured the Jefferson Viaduct for two-way traffic, plus a two-way cycle track.

The Houston Street bridge is expected to reopen to cars by the afternoon of Monday, May June 29.

The Oak Cliff-bound lane on the Jefferson Viaduct will be closed beginning next week. It is expected to take about a week to reconfigure the Jefferson bridge for three one-way lanes of Oak Cliff-to-Downtown traffic. The city also has plans to improve the cycle track.
