Attention San Antonio Drivers: Weekend Closures Ahead!
Hey there, San Antonio! If you’re planning to hit the roads this weekend, you might want to pay attention to some important updates regarding Loop 1604. Thanks to the ongoing *Loop 1604 North Expansion Project*, courtesy of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), there will be some *weekend closures* that could affect your travel plans.
What You Need to Know
Mark your calendars! Starting from 9 p.m. on Friday, January 31, until 5 a.m. on Monday, February 3, you’ll need to find some alternate routes as crews work on this ambitious expansion project. Of course, as with any construction project, this is all about trying to make our commutes smoother in the long run!
What Are the Specific Closures?
So what can you expect in terms of closures? Here’s a quick rundown:
- The I-10 Eastbound (EB) frontage road south of Loop 1604 will be shut down.
- There will be closures on the Loop 1604 EB exit ramp to I-10 EB as well.
- On the I-10 EB main lanes, a single lane will be closed from Loop 1604 to the UTSA Boulevard exit ramp.
- Also, the I-10 EB bypass lane south of the Loop 1604 interchange will be out of action.
- Loop 1604 westbound (WB) bypass lane will be closed too.
- The Loop 1604 WB exit ramp to I-10 WB will face temporary closures.
These closures are crucial for *bridge construction* at one of the busiest highway interchanges in our city. But don’t worry; you’ll still have access to businesses along the route during these disruptions.
Law Enforcement to the Rescue
If you’re wondering how traffic will be managed during these closures, you can expect to see law enforcement out there directing traffic through intersections as needed. This should help to smooth out the flow while the construction hustle and bustle is taking place.
Detours and Alternatives
For those who want to keep things moving smoothly, *detour information* will be available to help you navigate around the closures. If you’re on the I-10 EB frontage road, you’ll need to steer your way over to the Loop 1604 EB frontage road to find your way back to the mainlanes. Looking to switch from Loop 1604 to I-10 or vice versa? No problem; proper routes and turnarounds will be defined for you.
Back in Action After Holidays
These weekend closures come after a brief pause in construction for the holidays. Now, the project is back on track, and *workers are fired up* to continue transforming the interchange into a more efficient travel route for everyone!
Plan Accordingly
We know you have places to be, so it’s best to plan accordingly. Drivers are strongly encouraged to *avoid the area* during the closure times if possible, to help prevent delays and reduce congestion. A little planning can go a long way in keeping your weekend trips smooth and enjoyable.
So there you have it, San Antonio! Be sure to spread the word to fellow drivers and *stay tuned for updates* on this major project. As we navigate through these temporary inconveniences, let’s keep our eyes on the prize of an even better Loop 1604 for all of us!
