SAN ANTONIO – There is another round of major construction closures on the far Northwest Side this weekend, but drivers will get some relief on Mother’s Day.
As part of the Loop 1604 North Expansion Project, TxDOT will have several closures starting at 9 p.m. Friday, May 10 through 7 a.m. Sunday, May 12, weather permitting. Those closures are:
- Loop 1604 eastbound main lanes, collector-distributor and frontage road at the I-10 Interchange.
- I-10 westbound collector-distributor at the Loop 1604 Interchange.
- I-10 eastbound main lanes and collector-distributor at the Loop 1604 interchange.
- All four cloverleafs at the Loop 1604 and I-10 interchange.
However, the westbound main lanes of Loop 1604 and westbound I-10 will remain open through the weekend, but drivers will not be able to connect to the cloverleafs.
These are the minimum closures required for the anticipated work. All closures are subject to change and modification as necessary. Local law enforcement will direct traffic through intersections during this time. Drivers are asked to plan ahead for delays. Below is a map and detour information.
