San Antonio drivers should plan ahead for another long-term highway closure.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) plans to close the westbound Loop 1604 exit ramp to O’Connor Road starting Monday, October 19, as crews work on ramp construction for the Loop 1604 North Expansion Project.

Drivers on westbound Loop 1604 who need to reach O’Connor Road should exit at Judson Road. From there, they can follow the westbound Loop 1604 frontage road through the Judson Road intersection to O’Connor Road. TxDOT urges drivers to follow detour signs along the route.
The closure and expected reopening date could is subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

TxDOT has shut down the eastbound and westbound Loop 1604 frontage roads and the eastbound Interstate 10 mainlanes at the interchange all weekend, weather permitting. Drivers should expect nightly closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., starting Friday, October 16, through Monday, October 19.
