Weekend drivers on the Northeast Side of San Antonio are no strangers to construction woes. Sky-high highway lanes <\/a>in the middle of the buildout tower over hurdles of orange cones and sudden lane merges. And the highway headaches <\/a>are only intensifying this weekend as a busy stretch of Loop 410 shuts down for nearly 12 hours.<\/p>\n

The eastbound lanes of Loop 410 between Harry Wurzbach Road and Starcrest Drive (basically where Austin Highway and Loop 410 converge) will be shut down from 9 p.m. Friday, September 18, until 7 a.m. the next morning. Drivers will be pushed off the highway and onto the frontage road to continue their journey.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a day-ruiner, fortunately, since it\u2019s a less busy time to be on the road. Unless, of course, you\u2019re heading to a late-night flick at the Santikos Galaxy or to boot and scoot at Cowboy\u2019s Dancehall.<\/p>\n

The closure is part of the sweeping overhaul of I-35<\/a> and a small chunk of Loop 410, which is slated to run well into the next year and beyond. This phase, known as the I-35 Northeast Expansion<\/a> Central phase, is drawing $1.5 billion from state coffers and spans I-35 from Loop 410 to FM 3009. On Loop 410, from just west of Nacogdoches Road, this means improvements and new elevated lane access points to reach I-35.<\/p>\n

The biggest change is the introduction of towering lanes above I-35, which should reduce traffic congestion caused by drivers entering and exiting the highway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Weekend drivers on the Northeast Side of San Antonio are no strangers to construction woes.
