Kendall County leaders are urging caution as TxDOT work on Texas Highway 46 continues Wednesday, with the possibility of continuing later into the week. Crews started roadwork in the area on Tuesday, causing lane closures and traffic disruptions in Comal and Kendall counties.
According to Kendall County Commissioner Jennifer McCall, work will pick up once again just west of Boerne, heading toward Bandera, on Wednesday, April 1, at State Highway 46 West between an electric substation near Enchanted Springs Ranch in the 200-300 block of SH 46 and the base of Webster’s Curve, a well-known, heavily traveled stretch of road connecting Boerne and Bandera.
Crews are set to begin work on hydro-blasting the pavement starting at 9 a.m., with work expected to wrap up by 3 p.m. Drivers are encouraged to slow down and be mindful of TxDOT workers, though some commuters are already complaining of extra early morning delays and issues with construction crew safety.
“Got stuck in their closures this morning at 0735 and was at a complete standstill for 20 min….,” one Facebook user wrote in comment underneath Kendall County Judge Shane Stolarczyk’s Facebook post informing the public about the expected delays.
Stolarczyk tells MySA that leaders are still waiting for answers on whether work could spill into Thursday, causing another morning of traffic headaches for drivers in the Texas Hill Country.
“They needed more protection ,maybe a deputy car,with flashing lights!?,” another comment from Facebook user Frank Doc Holladay said.
