Prepare for long-term delays on San Antonio’s Northside. The City of Castle Hills is warning drivers of a nearly two-year closure of a busy route.<\/p>\n

Officials recently announced that the shutdown of the eastbound Loop 410 entrance ramp at Blanco Road is in effect. Crews with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) blocked it off on Friday, October 16, at 9 p.m. to begin demolition.<\/p>\n

The ramp, located near the Park North Shopping Center, provides access to major tenants including Target, Ross Dress for Less and Burlington. It sits directly across from the almost always congested North Star Mall.<\/p>\n

“Traffic will continue along the I-410 eastbound frontage road through the San Pedro Avenue intersection and use the next entrance ramp, just past San Pedro Avenue,” city\u00a0officials wrote in a social media<\/a> statement. “Drivers are encouraged to stay on the frontage road and avoid the McCullough Avenue flyover.”<\/p>\n

Folks will be waiting a long time for its replacement. TxDOT is working on building a completely new and improved entrance ramp in\u00a0its place. The\u00a0closure will last through spring 2028, according to the agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The task is part of a larger initiative called the Loop 410 San Pedro Improvements Project, which TxDOT defines<\/a> as “a $156 million investment to improve safety and traffic flow along one of San Antonio\u2019s busiest corridors.” It will be split into nine segments.<\/p>\n

“The corridor experiences heavy traffic and higher-than-average crash rates. Between 2014 and 2018, the project area averaged 3.7 crashes per day, higher than the statewide average for both interstates and U.S. highways,” TxDOT’s website states. “As the region continues to grow, traffic volumes are expected to increase. Without improvements, morning commutes could double by 2045, while evening commutes could take up to four times longer than they are today.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prepare for long-term delays on San Antonio’s Northside.
