The railing and other stretches of the overpass were damaged in a multi-vehicle accident during Monday's rainstorm.
Motorists were advised to plan for delays. Caltrans recommended that drivers plan on using westbound I-10 through Beaumont, bypassing the 10/60 interchange and continuing into San Bernardino County, then detouring south via I-215 or other routes.
