As progress continues on Texas\u2019 largest state highway loop<\/a>, weekend commuters or shoppers in San Antonio may want to brace for some serious highway headaches. The Texas Department of Transportation is shutting down<\/a> all lanes of I-10 for nearly 24 hours during peak shopping times this weekend.<\/p>\n

The eastbound lanes of I-10, where it meets Loop 1604, will be closed at 9 p.m. on Friday, May 15, and will stay closed until roughly 4 p.m. on Saturday. Drivers heading back toward town from La Cantera or The RIM could see significant delays heading back home if they live inside Loop 1604.<\/p>\n

For years, TxDOT has been overhauling Loop 1604 in a massive 1.4 billion dollar project. That means transforming the ousted four-leaf clover design at the intersection of I-10 and Loop 1604 on the Far Northside into a series of stacked direct connector ramps.<\/p>\n

To accomplish this, many shutdowns<\/a> have been needed over the years, much to the chagrin of Northside shoppers and drivers.<\/p>\n

Now, TxDOT is closing all the main lanes of I-10 East where it crosses under Loop 1604. Drivers heading toward town from La Cantera or The RIM will have to exit for the access road, hook a right on 1604, take a turn around and use that frontage road to get back to I-10.<\/p>\n

Those heading away from town, in the westbound lanes, should also be aware the left lane will be closed. Every lane counts on that stretch of I-10, especially during busy weekend traffic, so brace for a major slowdown this weekend as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As progress continues on Texas\u2019 largest state highway loop, weekend commuters or shoppers in San Antonio may want…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[820,59494,82,84,83],"class_list":["post-295349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-mysastaff","tag-mysatranspo","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
