SAN ANTONIO – Drivers on the far Northwest Side will have to contend with another weekend of major closures for the massive Loop 1604 North Expansion Project.

TxDOT will have a full closure of the Loop 1604 east and westbound main lanes at the Interstate 10 interchange starting at 9 p.m. on Friday, April 26 until 5 a.m. on Monday, April 29.

TxDOT will also close all four cloverleaf ramps at the Loop 1604 and I-10 interchange, and the I-10 westbound frontage road.

The main lanes of I-10 at the interchange will remain open in both directions with the exception of the far left lane on the eastbound side of I-10.

This is a full closure and lanes are expected to remain closed for the entire duration of the weekend. Crews are installing steel beams for a second flyover ramp. Local law enforcement will direct traffic through the intersections during this time. Below is a map and detour information.
