San Antonio drivers, beware: The Texas Department of Transportation plans some major closures around the Loop 1604 and Interstate 10 interchange on the Northwest Side, for this weekend and beyond.<\/p>\n
TxDOT said it will close all lanes of eastbound Loop 1604 at the interchange from 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday, as it continues work on a long-running project to expand Loop 1604 across the North Side.<\/p>\n
The agency will also make nightly closures of all lanes of I-10 at the interchange between 9\u00a0p.m. and 5 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. During those hours, the eastbound and westbound frontage roads for I-10 will also be closed.<\/p>\n
The westbound lanes of Loop 1604 will remain open through the weekend, as will the frontage roads for that highway, going both ways.<\/p>\n
TxDOT has also announced a long-term closure for that area: Starting at 5 a.m. Monday, it will permanently close the entrance ramp for eastbound I-10 south of the interchange “to accommodate future roadway improvements.”<\/p>\n
A new exit ramp is expected to open this year as work progresses, the agency said.<\/p>\n
Detours will be available for the closures, with signs leading the way.<\/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":"San Antonio drivers, beware: The Texas Department of Transportation plans some major closures around the Loop 1604 and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433792,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-433791","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\/433791","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=433791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
