Having trouble keeping track of all the scheduled closures on Interstate 10 in Beaumont? You are not alone.

Caltrans on Tuesday issued a reminder that a full, night-time closure of westbound Interstate 10 at Beaumont Avenue is scheduled Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights this week.

The closure is scheduled from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. each night for installation of overhead signs on the Beaumont Avenue Bridge, according to Caltrans District 8 spokeswoman Shelli Lombardo.
