North Side residents should prepare for a doozy of a highway closure this weekend, as the Texas Department of Transportation plans to close stretches of both Interstate 10 and Loop 1604\u00a0during nighttime hours.<\/p>\n
TxDOT says it will close all lanes of I-10 and the eastbound lanes of Loop 1604 where the highways meet near the Rim from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.<\/p>\n
During those hours, the state transportation agency will also close the frontage roads for Loop 1604 going both ways. The frontage roads for I-10 will remain open.<\/p>\n
Detours will be available.<\/p>\n
The closures are being made as part of TxDOT’s $1.4 billion Loop 1604 North Expansion Project, which will expand the highway from four to 10 lanes across a long stretch of the North Side. The project broke ground in 2021 after being mired for years in funding and environmental regulatory problems. TxDOT expects to complete it in 2028.<\/p>\n
The project includes the construction of a $463 million new interchange linking Loop 1604 and I-10, replacing the cloverleaf design dating to the 1980s, which has come under strain as San Antonio’s North and West sides have boomed in population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"North Side residents should prepare for a doozy of a highway closure this weekend, as the Texas Department…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384249,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-384248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","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\/384248","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=384248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384248\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384249"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
