Drivers in San Antonio should prepare for major highway closures this weekend as the Texas Department of Transportation continues work on two billion-dollar highway expansion projects.<\/p>\n
TxDOT plans to close all lanes of Interstate 10 at Loop 1604 on the Northeast Side from 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday, according to a news release.<\/p>\n
Both Loop 1604 frontage roads at the interchange also will be closed during that time.<\/p>\n
The weekend work is part of\u00a0TxDOT’s ongoing expansion projects at Loop 1604 and Interstate 10, as well as Interstate 35 and Loop 410.<\/p>\n
The Interstate 10 closures are tied to\u00a0TxDOT’s $1.4 billion Loop 1604 North Expansion Project, which will widen the highway from four to 10 lanes across the North Side. The project also includes construction of a $463 million interchange at Loop 1604 and Interstate 10, replacing the cloverleaf design built in the 1980s.<\/p>\n
TxDOT also announced the following weekend closures as part of its $3 billion I-35 NEX project, which will expand Interstate 35 from eight to 14 lanes on the Northeast Side:<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a09 p.m. Friday to noon Saturday: The three right lanes of southbound Interstate 35 between Judson Road and O’Connor Road will be closed. The southbound I-35 exit ramp to O’Connor Road also will be closed.<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u00a0 \u00a09 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday: All eastbound lanes of Loop 410 between Harry Wurzbach Road and Starcrest Drive will be closed.<\/p>\n
