Here&#8217;s what local drivers should know before heading out for their weekend plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Doug Leecock,\u00a0Comal County Commissioner Precinct 1, a TxDOT overlay project on Highway 281 is scheduled to begin with a concrete traffic barrier going up on Friday, September 18. &#8220;Weather permitting, paving operations are anticipated to commence on September 20, 2026, with much of the work being done at night,&#8221; Leecock added <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid025ePHXEgMvKFEiGBhekVHbTWzmDUnGzaweghZeu1LLzXKzDcYm3NwE8p5b2cisswvl&amp;id=61571273622916\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">in the Facebook post<\/a>.

The area impacted will begin around Borgfeld Road and continue almost to the\u00a0H-E-B Plus! on Highway 46, a nearly seven-mile stretch of the highway that crosses the Bexar and Comal County lines. It&#8217;s unclear if the project is anticipated to cause significant traffic delays for local drivers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>MySA reached out to TxDOT for more information on the traffic impact and scope of the project, but did not immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n<p>For more updates on local roadways \u2014 including delays, construction and more \u2014 check with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysanantonio.com\/news\/local\/traffic\/\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">MySA&#8217;s traffic page<\/a> for the latest news.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A major TxDOT highway pavement project is set to kick off in\u00a0San Antonio in the coming days.
